When configuring the source switch, note that:

zAll ports of a remote source mirroring group are on the same device. Each remote source mirroring group can be configured with only one reflector port.

zThe reflector port cannot be a member port of an existing mirroring group, a member port of an aggregation group, or a port enabled with LACP or STP. It must be an access port and cannot be configured with the functions like VLAN-VPN, port loopback detection, QoS, port security, and so on.

zYou cannot modify the duplex mode, port rate, and MDI attribute of a reflector port.

zOnly an existing static VLAN can be configured as the remote-probe VLAN. To remove a remote-probe VLAN, you need to restore it to a normal VLAN first. A remote port mirroring group gets invalid if the corresponding remote port mirroring VLAN is removed.

zDo not configure a port connecting the intermediate switch or destination switch as the mirroring source port. Otherwise, traffic disorder may occur in the network.

Configuration on the device acting as an intermediate switch

1)Configuration prerequisites

zThe trunk ports and the remote-probe VLAN are determined.

zLayer 2 connectivity is ensured between the source and destination switches over the remote-probe VLAN.

2)Configuration procedure

Follow these steps to configure the intermediate switch:
