Workflow to configure a mirror service
Prerequisites
The workflow lists the high-level steps required to configure a mirror service.
The workflow assumes the following:
-
A group or a customer with the required user access privileges has been configured.
-
The IP or IP/MPLS core network exists.
-
Any required service tunnels are created including the static, dynamic or SR-TE LSP required to create the service tunnel; see
To create an IP/MPLS service tunnel .
-
The access ports for the service are created; see
Chapter 16, Port and channel object configuration for more information.
-
Any required pre-defined routing, QoS, scheduling, filter, accounting, and time of day suite policies are created; see
Chapter 49, Policies overview for more information. You do not have to create pre-defined policies if policies are created on a per-service basis.
-
Any required MP-BGP for PE-to-PE routing is configured; see
Chapter 28, Routing protocol configuration for more information about protocol configuration.
-
The network services the mirror service will use are created.
-
A packet-sniffing device at the L2 SAP that is the destination of the mirror service is configured.
-
The SAP with the attached packet-sniffing device as the mirror destination is specified.
-
The source of the packets to be mirrored is configured.
Note: Note: The functionalities described in these procedures are device-dependent. Not all functionalities described in these procedures are supported by all devices.
Stages

|
1 | Create the mirror service. See
To create a mirror service .
-
Define the general properties for the mirror service.
-
Specify the services for inclusion in the mirror service. You can specify multiple services in one operation.
-
Enable one or more routing protocols for the mirror site.
-
Create a destination site on the mirror service. See
To create a destination site on a mirror service .
-
Create a source site on the mirror service, if required. See
To create a source site on a mirror service .
-
Specify an endpoint on the site for redundancy, if required. See
To create an endpoint for redundancy support on a mirror site .
-
Create an L2 access interface on the destination site, if required. See
To create an L2 access interface on a destination site .
-
Specify one or more SAPs on the site as a mirror source, if required. See
To specify a SAP on a mirror site as a mirror source .
-
Specify one or more ports on the site as a mirror source, if required. See
To specify a port on a mirror site as a mirror source .
-
Specify one or more source IP filters, if required. See
To specify a source IP filter entry as a mirror source .
-
Specify one or more source IPv6 filters, if required. See
To specify a source IPv6 filter entry as a mirror source .
-
Specify one or more source MAC filters, if required. See
To specify a source MAC filter entry for a mirror site .
-
Specify one or more source MPLS ingress labels, if required. See
To specify an MPLS ingress label as a mirror source .
-
Turn up the mirror service.

As required, view mirror service information:
-
View the service topology map associated with a Mirror Service. See
To view the service topology associated with a mirror service .
-
View the mirror service operational status. See
To view mirror service operational status .
