To specify an LI Source Port as an LI source

Purpose

Use this procedure to configure an LI Source Port mirror on a port or LAG. The LI Source Port can mirror Egress or Ingress traffic or both directions.

Note: The following considerations apply:

  • The NE must be licensed to allow LI source port mirroring.

  • When an LI Source Configuration is enabled, all Mirror Service sources (such as Interfaces, Ports, IP filter, or Subscribers) can no longer be provisioned on that Mirror Service.

    The admin user must create a new unique Service Mirror for non LI source types, and not share the same Mirror Service with and LI Mirror Service(both having the same service ID number).

  • All existing Mirror Service sources will be removed if LI Source Configuration is enabled, or any type of LI Mirror source is provisioned.

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 Properties. The Mirror Service (Edit) form opens.

3 

To specify an LI source port on a source site, expand Source Sites→source_site, right-click on LI Source Ports and choose Create Source Port. The Source Port (Create) form opens.

Note: An NFM-P operator with LI privileges can view, create, and delete LI source objects.

A mirror site can be configured with debug or LI sources, but not both. LI source configuration takes priority over debug source configuration.

4 

Select a port.

An LI source port can be one of the following:

  • physical port

  • LAG

5 

Configure the required parameters.

6 

Save the changes and close the forms.
