Create an Egress Group

Learn how to create an egress group, which you will use to specify where the packets from the 9920 tap interfaces are to be copied for the various tools.

About this task

You must observe the following naming conventions when you create an egress group.
  • Name cannot exceed 64 characters.
  • Name must start with an alphabetic character or an underscore.
  • Name must be an arbitrary sequence of alphabetic characters, numerals, underscores, hyphens, or dots.
  • Name must not be a reserved keyword (see the Extreme 9920 Software Command Reference, 21.1.0.0 for more information).

When you create an egress-group, you associate it with an egress so that the actions you specify in various policies are performed on traffic at those tool ports.

Procedure

  1. Run the configure terminal command to access Config mode.
    The command line changes to configuration mode.
    device(config)# 
  2. Create an egress group by running the command egress-group group-name .
    device(config)# egress-group egg123
    device(config-egress-group)# set egress egress-one
    device(config-egress-group)# end
    device#
  3. Run the following show command to confirm that the egress-group was created.
    device# show running-config egress-group
      egress-group egg123
      egress-one
