Question about VLAN tagging and port mirroring

Post by vandalous »

Hi all - I have a client with an OmniSwitch 6900 doing the following: link aggregation of two 10Gb ports into a single port with VLAN tagging of two network flows into separate VLANs. What we're trying to do is use port mirroring to mirror the traffic from a single VLAN within the link-ag.

Is this possible to do in a 6900? I know it's achievable using a SPAN but Cisco is obviously not in use here so I'm hoping that someone has figured out the commands to do this since I don't see the ability to filter traffic in the CLI guide for port mirroring. I'd rather not have to invest in a TAP device to split/filter the traffic downstream unless I have no choice.

Thanks in advance!

you can do it with policies, use as action keyword "mirror"

Code: Select all

policy condition c1 source vlan 5 source port 1/1
policy action a1 (Ingress/egress) mirror 1/7
policy rule r1 condition c1 action a1
qos apply
