Create a Port Mirroring

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Resource Center > Network Service > Advanced Network Service > Port Mirroring. On the Port Mirroring page, click Create Port Mirroring. Then, the Create Port Mirroring page is displayed.

On the displayed page, set the following parameters:
  • Name: Enter a name for the port mirroring.
  • Description: Optional. Enter a description for the port mirroring.
  • Flow Network: Select a flow network for port mirroring.
    Note:
    • A flow network is a dedicated network for port mirroring. You can use a flow network to transmit the mirrors of data packets of NIC ports to the target ports.
    • You cannot use a flow network for other purposes except for port mirroring.
    • A port mirroring occupies a flow network.
    • The VM instances for which port mirroring is configured must reside in the cluster where the associated flow networks are located.
  • Enable Immediately after Creation: Optional. Choose whether to enable port mirroring immediately after the port mirroring is created. Enabling port mirroring immediately after the creation may occupy physical network bandwidth. Make sure that your business is not affected and then select the checkbox.
