Enabling ACL-based port mirroring

Follow these high level steps to enable ACL-based port mirroring.

Procedure

  1. Create an ACL.
    • Traffic can only be selected using a permit clause.
    • The ACL can be bound to a physical pot or a LAG.
    • The physical port or LAG interface should be configured as a switchport.
    • Configure the mirror keyword in an ACL filter to enable inbound ACL mirroring. This directs selected traffic to the mirrored port.
  2. Associate the ACL mirror source and destination port. The mirror source port should be physical and the mirror destination port is either a physical port or a LAG port.
  3. Bind the ACL to an interface.
  4. Save the configuration.
