Mirroring Features
Mirroring refers to the process of copying packets that meet the specified rules to a
destination port. Generally, a destination port is connected to a data detect device,
which users can use to analyze the mirrored packets for monitoring and
troubleshooting the network.

Mirroring
Traffic Mirroring
Uses ACLs to identify traffic flows and mirror packets that match to the destination
port.
Port Mirroring
Port mirroring refers to the process of copying the packets received or sent by the
specified port to the destination port.
Remote Port
Mirroring—RSPAN
Remote switched port analyzer (RSPAN) refers to remote port mirroring. It eliminates
the limitation that the mirrored port and the mirroring port must be located on the
same switch. This feature makes it possible for the mirrored port and the mirroring
port to be located across several devices in the network, and facilitates the network
administrator to manage remote switches.
The application of RSPAN is illustrated in Figure 76:

There are three types of switches with the RSPAN enabled.
