Description | This article describes the best practice for using two collectors to capture the mirrored traffic. |
Scope | FortiSwitch. |
Solution |
In some scenarios, in which multiple port mirroring instances are created, then two collectors cannot collect the mirrored traffic for the same set of ports.
For Example:
config switch mirror
while creating a different mirror session to mirror port1 switch will give the below error :
S448DF3X170----4(mirror) # edit MR2 S448DF3X170----4(MR2) # S448DF3X170----4(MR2) # set src-ingress port1 S448DF3X170----4(MR2) # set src-ingress port1 S448DF3X170----4(MR2) # set dst port5 S448DF3X170----4(MR2) # set switching-packet enable S448DF3X170----4(MR2) # next
Therefore, once the ports are added for a mirror session, they cannot be used for any other mirror sessions simultaneously. |
