1:N Mirroring Specifications
Concept
1:N mirroring copies packets from a mirrored source to N observing ports.
- Only observing port groups can be used to implement 1:N traffic mirroring. An observing port group consists of multiple physical interfaces that all function as observing ports.
- In port mirroring, if a mirrored port is bound to an observing port group in one direction, other observing ports cannot be bound to the mirrored port in this direction.
Specifications
This section provides the specifications of 1:N port mirroring. The N values of other 1:N mirroring features are the same as those of 1:N port mirroring.

Only one observing port or observing port group can be bound to a mirrored port, which must be the same when mirroring is configured in both directions. An observing port group can contain a maximum of 64 observing ports. |
