To configure a mirror port on a 7210 SAS

No-service ports on the 7210 SAS

For some implementations of mirror services on the 7210 SAS, you must configure a no-service port on the NE. You can select a physical port or a virtual port. Not all chassis types support virtual no-service ports.

If you select a physical port as a no-service port, the port cannot contain any SAPs.

For virtual no-service ports, the number of available ports and the port names vary depending on the chassis type. Virtual ports are not displayed on the navigation tree.

You cannot select the same no-service port for more than one function.

For more information about configuring no-service ports for mirror services, see the 7210 SAS OAM and Diagnostics documentation.
