MAC address filter-based mirroring
This feature allows traffic entering an ingress port to be monitored from a mirror port connected to a data analyzer, based on specific source and destination MAC addresses. This feature supports mirroring of inbound traffic only. Outbound mirroring is not supported.
MAC-filter-based mirroring allows a user to specify a particular stream of data for mirroring using a filter. This eliminates the need to analyze all incoming data to the monitored port. To configure MAC-filter-based mirroring, the user must perform three steps:
- Define a mirror port
- Create a MAC address filter with a mirroring clause
- Apply the MAC address filter to an interface
