Mirror destinations

The mirror destination can be:
  • a local destination (local mirroring)

    In a local mirroring configuration, both the mirror source and mirror destination reside on the same node. The local destination can be a switched port analyzer (SPAN).

  • a remote destination

    In a remote mirroring configuration, the mirror source and mirror destination are on different nodes. The mirror source resides on one node and the mirrored packets are encapsulated into a tunnel toward the mirror destination. The remote destination can be an encapsulated remote switched port analyzer (ERSPAN).
