To create a source 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 Source Sites and choose Create Source Site to select an available site. The Mirror Site (Create) form opens.

4 

Configure the required general parameters.

5 

Click on the Mirroring Configuration tab.

6 

Configure the required parameters.

The Slice Size parameter is not configurable if the Encapsulation Type parameter is set to IP Only in Step 4 .

The Enable Port ID Mirroring parameter is configurable only if you set the Encapsulation Type parameter to PPP in Step 4 .

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. On the other hand, if a remote source site is already on the service, then Enable Port ID Mirroring cannot be set to true. Also, if remote mirror is used, then Enable Port ID Mirroring must be configured on all source sites.

7 

Save the changes and close the form.

8 

If you did not enable the Automatic SDP Binding Creation parameter in To create a mirror service, then choose an SDP binding for the mirror source.

  1. In the service navigation tree, expand the site object that you created.

  2. Select Mirror SDP Binding under the source site in the service navigation tree, right-click and choose Create Mirror SDP Binding. The Mirror SDP Binding (Create) form opens.

    If you enabled the Automatic SDP Binding Creation parameter in To create a mirror service , go to Step 12 .

9 

Specify a destination NE for the mirror SDP binding by selecting from a list of managed NEs for the Tunnel Termination Site parameter.

If the destination NE is not managed by the NFM-P, specify the system ID of the destination NE for the Tunnel Termination Site parameter.

Note: For a 7210 SAS destination site in a mirror service, you can either specify a mirror SDP binding or create a SAP, but not both.

10 

If you are configuring an L2TPv3 tunnel for the SDP binding, go to Step 11 . Otherwise, configure the required parameters.

11 

To specify a transport tunnel for the mirror SDP binding:

  1. Let the NFM-P configure the transport tunnel automatically.

    1. Enable the Auto-Select Transport Tunnel parameter.

    2. Configure the Tunnel Auto-Selection Transport Preference parameter.

  2. Configure the transport tunnel manually; select a tunnel in the Tunnel panel.

  3. Configure an MPLS-TP transport tunnel.

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

    2. 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, then you must set the Control Word parameter to Preferred. See To configure an MPLS-TP static pseudowire on a mirror SDP binding .

    3. Save the changes and close the forms.

  4. Configure an L2TPv3 tunnel.

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

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

Save the changes and close the forms.
