On the source device, packets of the mirroring port are mirrored to the tunnel interface that serves as
the monitor port in the remote source mirroring group, and then transmitted to the destination device
through the GRE tunnel. The destination device receives the mirrored packets from the other tunnel
interface that serves the mirroring port in the remote destination mirroring group, and then forwards
the packets to the monitor port in the remote destination mirroring group. In this way, the data
monitoring device connected to the monitor port on the destination device can monitor and analyze
packets passing through the mirroring port on the source device.
z For more information about GRE tunnels, see Tunneling Configuration in the Layer 3 - IP
Services Configuration Guide.
z Only the SD and EB series LPUs support Layer 3 remote port mirroring.
