Binding a Layer 2 Port-Mirroring Instance to a Packet Forwarding Engine

You can bind a Layer 2 port-mirroring instance to a specific Packet Forwarding Engine so that the port-mirroring properties in that instance are applied to all ports associated with that Packet Forwarding Engine. Port-mirroring properties that are bound to a Packet Forwarding Engine override port-mirroring properties bound to the DPC (if the port-mirroring statement has been included at the [edit forwarding-options] hierarchy level).

Note: For MX960 routers, there is a one-to-one mapping of Packet Forwarding Engines to Ethernet ports. Therefore, on MX960 routers only, you can configure port-specific bindings of port-mirroring instances.

To associate a port-mirroring instance with a Packet Forwarding Engine and its associated ports, include the port-mirror-instances pm-instance-name-b statement at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number pic slot-number] hierarchy level:



[edit]


fpc slot-number { 
port-mirror-instance pm-instance-name-a;


pic slot-number {
port-mirror-instance pm-instance-name-b; 
}


}


}
