    Layer 2 Port Mirroring Global Instance

    On an MX Series router and on an EX Series switch, you can configure a set of port-mirroring properties that implicitly apply to packets received on all ports in the router (or switch) chassis. This set of port-mirroring properties is the global instance of Layer 2 port mirroring for the router or switch.

    Within the global instance configuration, you can specify a set of mirror destination properties for each packet address family supported by Layer 2 port mirroring.

    For a general description of Layer 2 port-mirroring properties, see Layer 2 Port Mirroring Properties. For a comparison of the types of Layer 2 port mirroring available on an MX Series router and on an EX Series switch, see Application of Layer 2 Port Mirroring Types.
