Port Mirroring
First you must configure a mirror destination. This is the port (referred as the destport ) where
the mirrored packets are replicated to. The mirror dest create API returns a mirror ID . This ID is
then used in all further mirror API commands. The first ID defaults to
0x3c000000
. Next the
user calls the
mirror dest add
command to attach a port (referred as the srcport) to an
already created mirror ID. This source port is where the mirrored packets come from. The
mirror dest add API command also takes a mode parameter which specifies whether to replicate
Ingress, Egress, or both types of packets. The mode parameter values can be Ingress, Egress,
or IngressEgress.
Example commands to replicate Ingress and Egress packets from xe0 to xe1 (using
bcm.user.proxy
):
BCM.0> mir dest create id=0 destport=xe1
BCM0.> mir dest add id=0x3c000000, mode=IngressEgress
srcport=xe0
To display the mirror configurations:
BCM.0> mir show
BCM.0> mir dest show
To remove the example mirror configuration:
BCM.0> mir dest delete id=0x3c000000
mode=IngressEgress srcport=xe0
BCM.0> mir dest destroy id=0x3c000000
This release includes a shell script which allows the user to execute BCM utility commands
without having to enter and exit the program. This can be useful if a BCM commands need to
be scripted, for example, from the Linux command line:
# bcmui.sh port xe0 autoneg=on
