Configuring Port-Mirroring Instances on M320 Routers

You can associate only one port-mirroring instance with a specific FPC on an M320 router.

To associate a port-mirroring instance with a specific FPC, include the port-mirror-instance port-mirroring-instance-name statement at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number] hierarchy level:

[edit chassis]fpc slot-number {port-mirror-instance port-mirroring-instance-name;}

The properties of the port-mirroring instance associated with an FPC override any global port-mirroring properties (configured by including the port-mirroring statement at the [edit forwarding-options] hierarchy level.)

  • Layer 2 VPLS port mirroring is supported only for Enhanced III FPCs on M320 routers.
  • Ensure that the port-mirroring-instance-name specified at the [edit chassis fpc slot-number] hierarchy level matches the port-mirroring-instance-name configured at the [edit forwarding-options port-mirroring instance port-mirroring-instance-name] hierarchy level.
