Usage Syntax
bigpipe mirror (destination-interface | all) (delete | show | list)
bigpipe mirror (destination-interface | all) interface (source-interface | all) [add | delete]
- destination-interface is the interface traffic will be mirrored to (from another source interface)
- source-interface is the interface traffic will be mirrored from (to a destination interface)
Common source-interface options include;
- add - specify a further source interface to add to an existing mirroring configuration
- delete - specify a source interface to delete from an existing mirroring configuration
- all - specify all source or destination interfaces currently configured in an existing mirroring configuration (not all actual interfaces)
Usage Examples
bigpipe mirror 1.1 interface 1.2 - create a port mirror with destination port 1.1 and source port 1.2
bigpipe mirror 1.1 interface 1.2 1.3 - create a port mirror with destination port 1.1 and source ports 1.2 and 1.3
bigpipe mirror 1.1 interface 1.4 add - add additional source port 1.3 to the existing mirroring destination port 1.1
bigpipe mirror all delete - delete all configured mirroring
Usage Notes
Multiple destination and source interfaces can be specified.
The add, delete and all options can only be used to modify existing mirroring configurations.
Bigpipe Usage Notes
Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.
Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.
The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.
Where curly or normal brackets {} or () or quotes "" or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the bash shell from parsing them as system commands.
Command Equivalents
The Cisco command equivalent is the monitor session command
The Extreme command equivalents are the configure mirroring command and enable mirroring command
