Enabling Mirror-Once Mode for Layer 2 Port Mirroring

When an MX-series router is configured to Layer 2 port mirroring at both ingress and egress interfaces, and the same packet could be mirrored twice. You can configure an MX-series router to mirror traffic only once, so that the router does not send duplicate sampled packets to the same mirroring destination. To configure, include the mirror-once statement at the [edit forwarding-options port-mirroring] hierarchy level.

[edit]
forwarding-options {
port-mirroring {
mirror-once; # Mirror destinations do not receive duplicate packets
input {
... input-sampling-configuration ...
}
family ( bridge | ccc | vpls) {
output {
... mirroring-destination-configuration ...
}
}
}
}
