PREREQUISITES

Source switch

• Hardware support RMirror feature

 

• In order to mirror control packets, it must support

 

classification of RMirror VLAN to forwarding.

 

• RMirror with reflector-port can connected to several

 

intermediate switches and destination switches by connected-

 

port.

 

 

Intermediate switch

• The RMirror VLAN traffic must pass through connected port.

 

• In order to mirror control packets, it SHOULD support

 

classification for RMirror VLAN forwarding.

 

• Learning SHOULD be disabled on VLAN

 

• For other supplier switch device, it MUST support 802.1q for

 

basis function on RMirror. If user wants to have fully support

 

on RMirror, condition 2 and 3 should be considered.
