Mirroring instance parameters

Table 1. Mirroring instance parameter descriptions
Parameter Description Values
Name This parameter specifies the name of the mirroring instance. —
Labels You can optionally assign labels to the mirror object. —
Description Optionally, provide a description for this mirroring instance. —
Active This parameter indicates whether the mirroring instance is active. —
Automatic deployment This parameter specifies whether a mirroring instance is automatically deployed as soon as it is created. —
Source Group Select one or more sources previously configured sources for the mirroring instance. For more information, see Mirror source groups. —
Destination Select a previously configured destination for the mirroring instance. For more information, see Mirror destinations. —

Mirror source group settings

Table 2. Mirror source parameter descriptions
Field Name Description Values
Name This parameter specifies the name of the source group. —
Labels You can optionally assign labels to the source object. —
Description You can optionally provide a description for this source group. —
Source Group Type This parameter specifies whether the sources of the mirror are interfaces or sub-interfaces. Interface or Sub - Interface
Node Selection Method Specify whether you want to select the node by node name, by node label, or if you prefer not to specify a node by name or label and instead choose interfaces or sub-interfaces by label only. Node, Node Label, or Not Applicable
Nodes Optionally, if node selection is by node name, select a node from which to select interfaces or sub-interfaces. —
Interface Selection Method This parameter cannot be modified. If the source group type is interface, and the Node Selection Method parameter is set to:
  • Node, this parameter is set to Interface
  • Node Label, this parameter is set to Interface Label
—
Interfaces Optionally, select one or more interfaces by interface name. If you selected a node, you can only select interfaces from that node. If you select multiple nodes, only the common interfaces among them are displayed for selection. —
Node Labels Optionally, specify a node label. If you specify a node label, all nodes that match the selected label are used as mirror source. —
Interface Labels If the node selection method is by label, you can optionally select an interface label to filter the interfaces to use as source.
  • If the Node Selection Method parameter is set to Not Applicable, the system selects interfaces that match the interface label from any node.
  • If you specified a node label, the system selects interfaces on the specified node that match the label.
—
Sub-Interfaces If the source group type is sub-interface, select one or more sub-interfaces by interface name. If you selected a node, you can only select sub-interfaces from that node. —
Sub-Interface Labels Optionally, specify a sub-interface label. If you do not specify a node label (by setting the Node Selection Method parameter to Not Applicable), the system selects any sub-interface that matches the sub-interface label across any node. If you specify a node label, the system selects sub-interfaces that match the sub-interface label on the node. —
Traffic Direction Specify the direction of traffic to mirror:
  • Ingress only
  • Egress only
  • Ingress-egress
—

Mirror destination parameters

Table 3. Mirror destination parameter descriptions
Field Name Description Values
Destination Name This parameter specifies the name of the destination group object. —
Description Optionally, provide a description for the mirror destination. —
Labels You can optionally assign labels to this mirror destination. —
Destination Type Specify whether this mirror destination local or remote. Local or Remote
Interface If the destination is local, specify the interface. —
VLAN ID If the destination is local, select the VLAN ID. —
Destination IP If the destination is remote, specify the IP address of the destination. IPv4 notation
Source IP Optionally, specify the source IP address; if no address is provided, the system IP address is used. IPv4 notation
Encapsulation The system supports L2oGRE encapsulation only. You cannot set this parameter. —
