To create an endpoint for redundancy support on a mirror site

Steps
 

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


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


Perform one of the following.

  1. To create an endpoint on a destination site, expand the Destination Sites object to view the configured destination sites, and expand the destination site object on which you are creating the endpoint. Right-click on Endpoints and choose Create Endpoints. The Endpoint (Create) form opens.

  2. To create an endpoint on a source site, expand the Source Sites object to view the configured source sites, and expand the source site object on which you are creating the endpoint. Right-click on Endpoints and choose Create Endpoints. The Endpoint (Create) form opens.


Configure the required general parameters.


Click OK.

For the destination site, the L2 Access Interface (Test Equipment Interface) and Mirror SDP Binding objects appear under the Endpoints object.

For the source site, the Mirror SDP Binding object now appears under the Endpoints object.


To create an L2 access interface as the mirror destination, expand Endpoints, right-click on L2 Access Interface (Test Equipment Interface) and choose Create L2 Access Interface. The L2 Access Interface (Create) form opens.

Note: You cannot create an L2 access interface on the endpoint if you create an L2 access interface in To create an L2 access interface on a destination site without selecting an endpoint for redundancy.


Click on the Port tab and select a port for the L2 access interface.

Note: Only ports in access or hybrid mode are listed. To choose a port that is not listed, you must set the Mode parameter for the port to Access or Hybrid. After you do this, the port is listed when you click Search.


Configure the required parameters.


Save the changes and close the form.
