Port Mirroring with Greenspan

The Mirroring features allows the mirroring of source port packets in Rx, Tx and both directions to a local destination port. Mirroring with Greenspan feature allows mirroring of source packets in Rx direction on to GRE tunnel.

Configuring Mirroring with Greenspan and Port

  • These commands configure a mirroring session with destination for GRE tunnel interface and regular port.

Syntax


// Source port 
switch(config)#monitor session <name> source <interface> [ rx | tx | both ] [ ip access-group <access-list-name>

// GREENSPAN destination
switch(config)#monitor session <name> destination tunnel mode gre source <ipAddress> destination <ipAddress> ttl <ttlValue> dscp <dscpValue>

// Port destination
switch(config)#monitor session <name> destination <interface>

Example


switch(config)#monitor session r1 source Ethernet2 rx ip access-group a3
switch(config)#monitor session r1 destination tunnel mode gre source 75.75.75.75 destination 100.1.0.2

Displaying Mirroring with Greenspan and Port Information

These two commands display the monitor and platform related mirroring information.

  • show monitor session
  • show platform sfe mirroring

Example

  • The show monitor session command displays the session information.

switch#show monitor session
