Remote Mirroring Destination Using a VLAN Interface
and an ACL for Mirroring Criteria
In the network shown in figure B-29, the system operator has connected a
traffic analyzer to port A15 (in VLAN 30) on switch D, and wants to monitor
the Telnet traffic to the server at 10.10.30.153 from the workstations on
switches A and B. The operator does this by configuring remote mirroring
sessions on these two switches, and a mirroring destination on switch D.
(Telnet traffic to the server from sources on switch C is not of interest, and
routing is enabled on switches C and D.) Note that the port on which the
