Example for Configuring Local Traffic Mirroring
Applicable Products and Versions
This example applies to all models and versions.
For details about the mapping between software versions and switch models, see the Hardware Query Tool.
Networking Requirements
In Figure 2-43, the Technical department and Marketing department of a company use 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 respectively to communicate with each other through SwitchA. The monitoring device Server is directly connected to SwitchA.
The packets sent from the Technical department to the Marketing department need to be monitored through the Server.
Configuration Roadmap
- Configure 10GE1/0/2 on SwitchA as the local observing port so that Server can receive mirrored packets.
- Configure a traffic classifier to match the packets sent from the Technical department to the Marketing department, and configure a traffic behavior to mirror packets to the observing port.
- Configure a traffic policy, bind the traffic classifier and traffic behavior to the traffic policy, and apply the traffic policy to the inbound direction of 10GE1/0/1.
Procedure
- Configure an observing port.
# Configure 10GE1/0/2 on SwitchA as the observing port.
<HUAWEI> system-view [~HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA [*HUAWEI] commit [~SwitchA] observe-port 1 interface 10ge 1/0/2 [*SwitchA] commit
- Configure a traffic classifier.
# Create a traffic classifier named c1 on SwitchA to match the packets with the source IP address 192.168.1.0 and destination IP address 192.168.2.0/24.
[~SwitchA] acl number 3000 [*SwitchA-acl4-advance-3000] rule permit ip source 192.168.1.0 24 destination 192.168.2.0 24 [*SwitchA-acl4-advance-3000] quit [*SwitchA] traffic classifier c1 [*SwitchA-classifier-c1] if-match acl 3000 [*SwitchA-classifier-c1] commit [~SwitchA-classifier-c1] quit
- Configure a traffic behavior.
# Create a traffic behavior named b1 on SwitchA and configure it.
[~SwitchA] traffic behavior b1 [*SwitchA-behavior-b1] mirroring observe-port 1 [*SwitchA-behavior-b1] commit [~SwitchA-behavior-b1] quit
- Configure a traffic policy and apply the traffic policy to the interface.
# Create a traffic policy named p1 on SwitchA, bind the traffic classifier and traffic behavior to the traffic policy, and apply the traffic policy to the inbound direction of 10GE1/0/1 to monitor packets with the 802.1p priority of 6 sent from HostA.
[~SwitchA] traffic policy p1 [*SwitchA-trafficpolicy-p1] classifier c1 behavior b1 [*SwitchA-trafficpolicy-p1] commit [~SwitchA-trafficpolicy-p1] quit [~SwitchA] interface 10ge 1/0/1 [~SwitchA-10GE1/0/1] traffic-policy p1 inbound [*SwitchA-10GE1/0/1] commit [~SwitchA-10GE1/0/1] quit [~SwitchA] quit
