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.
