Configuring Port Mirroring Instances on MX-series Routers

You can configure port mirroring for Layer 2 VPLS traffic on MX-series routers. To configure port mirroring, include the vpls statement at the [edit forwarding-options port-mirroring] hierarchy level.

You can configure multiple instances of port mirroring to enable multiple Packet Forwarding Engines to mirror packets to different destinations. To configure multiple instances, include the instance instance-name statement at the [edit forwarding-options port-mirroring] hierarchy level.

To configure a router to sample the packet for port mirroring only once, include the mirror-once statement at the [edit forwarding-options]. This option is useful when you are performing port mirroring on both the ingress and egress interfaces to eliminate duplication when input and output filtering is performed on the same packet.
