To create a destination site on a mirror service

Steps
 
1 

Choose Manage→Service→Mirror Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Mirror Services form opens.

2 

Select a mirror service and click Properties. The Mirror Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

On the service navigation tree, right-click on Destination Sites and choose Create Destination Site to select an available site. The Mirror Site (Create) form opens.

4 

Configure the required general parameters.

For mirror destination sites on network-enabled 7210 SAS NEs (except the 7210 SAS-K12 and 7210 SAS-K30 ETR), when you configure a mirror SDP as the source, you must set the Source Type parameter to Remote or Both.

5 

Configure the Use Global Sampling Rate parameter to use the configured global rate. See To configure the global sampling rate on an NE .

6 

Click on the Mirroring Configuration tab and configure the required parameters.

Choose the default of 0 for the Slice Size parameter when you configure a destination mirror site, unless slicing at the destination is necessary. Packet slicing reduces the amount of mirrored traffic that traverses the network.

The Slice Size parameter is not displayed if the Encapsulation Type parameter is set to IP Only.

The Port Id Mirroring and remote source are mutually exclusive. If Enable Port ID Mirroring is set to true on the destination site, then a remote source site cannot be added to the service. If a remote source site is already on the service, then Enable Port ID Mirroring cannot be set to true. Also, if remote mirroring is used, then Enable Port ID Mirroring must be configured on all source sites.

The Enable Port ID Mirroring parameter is configurable only if the Encapsulation Type parameter is set to PPP.

For 7210 SAS NEs (except the 7210 SAS-K12 and 7210 SAS-K30 ETR), you can configure the Remote Source Capable parameter only when the Source Type parameter is set to Remote or Both in Step 4 .

7 

Configure the remote source far end.

Note: The Remote Source Capable parameter configured in Step 6 must be set to True when you configure a remote source.

Perform the following:

  1. Click on the Remote Source tab.

  2. Click Create. The Remote Source (Create) form appears.

  3. Configure the required parameters.

  4. Save the changes and close the form.

8 

Configure a remote source mirror SDP binding.

Note: The Remote Source Capable parameter configured in Step 6 must be set to True when you configure a remote source.

Remote source SDP bindings support only L2TPv3 or MPLS-TP tunnels. A remote source SDP binding is mutually exclusive to far end instances.

Perform the following:

  1. Click on the Mirror SDP Bindings tab.

  2. Click Create. The Mirror SDP Binding (Create) form opens.

  3. If you are configuring an L2TPv3 tunnel for the SDP binding, go to 4 . Otherwise, configure the required parameters.

  4. Specify a transport tunnel for the mirror SDP binding.

    First configure an MPLS-TP transport tunnel.

    • Select an MPLS-TP service tunnel for the spoke SDP binding in the Tunnel panel.

    • Click on the Pseudowire OAM tab and configure the Control Word parameter. If you are creating a mirror SDP binding using an MPLS-TP service tunnel for pseudowire static configuration, you must set the Control Word parameter to Preferred. See To configure an MPLS-TP static pseudowire on a mirror SDP binding .

    Then configure an L2TPv3 tunnel.

    • Select an L2TPv3 service tunnel for the spoke SDP binding in the Tunnel panel.

    • Configure the Ingress Cookie parameter. The Ingress Cookie parameter must match the Egress Cookie parameter that you configure on the SDP binding using L2TPv3 tunnel on the mirror source site in To create a source site on a mirror service .

  5. Save the changes and close the form.

9 

Save the changes and close the forms.
