 Problem Description : 

How To Enable And Configure Mirroring In EXOS

 Resolution : 

Procedure

 1. Create Mirror:

 create mirror <MIRROR_NAME>

 2. Configure port, or VLAN to be Mirrored:

 configure mirror <MIRROR_NAME> add [vlan <VLAN_NAME> port <PORT> {ingress | egress | ingress-and-egress}

 3. Configure Mirror destination port:

 enable mirror <MIRROR_NAME> to port <PORT>

Additional notes

To remove ports or VLANs from Mirror Filter:

 configure mirror <MIRROR_NAME> delete [all | vlan <VLAN_NAME> | port <PORT> | vlan <VLAN_NAME> port <PORT>| port <PORT> vlan <VLAN_NAME>]

To disable Mirror:

 disable mirror <MIRROR_NAME> | all

Ingress-and-egress option is only available for port-based mirroring.

You then can connect the mirrored port to a PC running Wireshark and it will capture the packets.
