Remote port mirroring to IPv4/IPv6 address (GRE encap) with DSCP, source-address, and rate-limiting parameters

You can configure DSCP, source-address, and rate-limiting parameters in your configuration for remote port mirroring to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. You use remote port mirroring to copy packets entering a port or VLAN and send the copies to the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a device running an analyzer application on a remote network (sometimes referred to as “extended remote port mirroring”). The mirrored packets are GRE-encapsulated.

You configure source-address or source-ipv6-address, dscp, and forwarding-class options—either in the analyzer configuration or the port-mirroring configuration—under these hierarchies, respectively:

• [edit forwarding-options analyzer instance instance-name output]
• [edit forwarding-options port-mirroring instance instance-name family inet|inet6 output]

You configure the forwarding class and the shaping-rate option under the class-of-service hierarchy, as follows:

• set class-of-service forwarding-classes class class-name queue-num queue-number
• set class-of-service interfaces interface-name scheduler-map map-name
• set class-of-service scheduler-maps map-name forwarding-class class-name scheduler scheduler-name
• set class-of-service schedulers scheduler-name shaping-rate rate
