show mirror
Description
Displays various show output for mirror instances.
Syntax Description
mirror_name | Displays the mirror name. |
mirror_name_li | Displays mirror instance name for Lawful Intercept account only. You must have lawful intercept user privileges to specify this variable. |
all | Displays all mirror instances. |
enabled | Displays only enabled mirror instances. |
control_index | Selects the particular mirror MIB instance, as defined by a control index (1–4), to show information about. |
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to display mirror statistics and determine if mirroring is enabled or disabled on the switch.
- Disabled—User has disabled the mirror instance.
- Down. No route—No route is available to reach the remote IP address.
- Down. IP forwarding not enabled on VLAN to route—Route is available to reach the remote IP address, but egress VLAN does not have IP forwarding enabled (see enable ipforwarding).
- Down. Ping timed out—Route is available, IP address forwarding is enabled on the egress VLAN, but ping check is “on” and a timely ping response from the remote IP address was not received during three consecutive ping requests, sent every five seconds.
- Up. Active—Remote IP address is reachable and ARP entry is resolved. Ping health check is either “off”, or is “on” and a timely ping response has been received. The status is “Up. Active” for the remote IP address in “Up” state with the highest configured priority, and therefore is sent mirrored packets.
- Up. Standby—Remote IP address is reachable and ARP entry is resolved. Ping health check is either “off”, or is “on” and a timely ping response has been received. Status is “Up. Standby” for remote IP addresses in “Up” state, but whose configured priority is below the priority of the remote IP address that is “Up. Active”.

Note
The mirror instance for a remote IP address is only installed in hardware if the status is “Up.Active”.Example
The following command displays switch mirroring information:
# show mirror DefaultMirror (Disabled) Description: Default Mirror Instance, created automatically Mirror to port: - PolicyMirror-1003 (Enabled) Mirror Destination Indices: 1 - Enabled Description: Mirror to port: 3 TunMir (Enabled) Mirror Destination Indices: 3 - Enabled Description: Mirror to remote IP: 192.168.97.100 VR : VR-Default From IP : 192.168.97.184 Ping check: On Status : Up Mirrors defined: 3 Mirrors enabled: 2 (Maximum 4) HW filter instances used: 0 (Maximum 128) HW mirror instances used: 0 ingress, 0 egress (Maximum 4 total, 2 egress) Remote IP protocol type: Trans Ether Bridging (0x6558) Destination Control Index 1: Enabled (Active) Destination Control Index 3: Enabled (Active)
The following example displays output for a lawful intercept user session:
* show mirror DefaultMirror (Disabled) Description: Default Mirror Instance, created automatically Mirror to port: - law_mirror (Enabled) Description: user for lawful intercept Mirror to port: 3 Source filter instances used : 2 Port 7, all vlans, ingress only Port 8, all vlans, ingress only main_mirror (Enabled) Description: Mirror instance for Admin Mirror to port: 2 Source filter instances used : 1 Port 10, all vlans, ingress only Mirrors defined: 3 Mirrors enabled: 2 (0 with egress filters) HW filter instances used: 3 (Maximum 128) Remote IP protocol type: ERSPAN v1 (0x88BE)
The following example shows mirroring to remote IP addresses:
# show mirror analytics_chicago_1 (Enabled) Description: Mirror to remote IP: 5.1.1.2 VR : VR-Default From IP : Auto source IP Ping check: On Priority : 50 Status : Up. Active Mirror to remote IP: 4.1.1.2 VR : VR-Default From IP : Auto source IP Ping check: On Priority : 40 Status : Up. Standby Mirror to remote IP: 3.1.1.2 VR : VR-Default From IP : Auto source IP Ping check: On Priority : 30 Status : Down. Ping timed out Mirror to remote IP: 2.1.1.2 VR : VR-Default From IP : Auto source IP Ping check: On Priority : 20 Status : Up. Standby Source filter instances used : 1 All ports, vlan v1, ingress only analytics_seattle_2 (Enabled) Description: Mirror to remote IP: 5.6.7.8 VR : VR-Default From IP : 10.1.1.1 Ping check: Off Priority : 50 Status : Down. No route Source filter instances used : 1 Port 2, vlan v2, ingress only bldg_1_sniffer (Enabled) Description: Mirror to port: 5 Source filter instances used : 1 All ports, vlan v3, ingress only DefaultMirror (Disabled) Description: Default Mirror Instance, created automatically Mirror to port: - Mirrors defined: 4 Mirrors enabled: 3 (Maximum 4) HW filter instances used: 3 (Maximum 128) HW mirror instances used: 3 ingress, 0 egress (Maximum 4 total, 2 egress) Remote IP protocol type: ERSPAN v1 (0x88BE)
The following example shows information about Mirror MIB instance for control index "1":
# show mirror 1 Destination Control Index 1: Enabled (Active)
