This is a memo intended to contain documentation of the VPP SPAN implementation. Everything that is not directly obvious should come here.
Port mirroring is used on a network switch to send a copy of network packets seen on one switch port to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. Can be used by network engineers or administrators to measure performance, analyze and debug data or diagnose errors on a network.
There is one static node to mirror incoming packets.
Chaining: dpdk-input -> span-input ->
SPAN supports the following CLI configuration commands:
set interface span <if-name> [disable | destination <if-name>]
<if-name>: mirrored interface name destination <if-name>: monitoring interface name disable: delete mirroring
SPAN supports the following API configuration command: sw_interface_span_enable_disable src GigabitEthernet0/8/0 dst GigabitEthernet0/9/0 sw_interface_span_enable_disable src_sw_if_index 1 dst_sw_if_index 2
src/src_sw_if_index: mirrored interface name dst/dst_sw_if_index: monitoring interface name
SPAN supports the following API configuration command: sw_interface_span_enable_disable src_sw_if_index 1 dst_sw_if_index 2 disable
src_sw_if_index: mirrored interface name dst_sw_if_index: monitoring interface name
Mirror all packets on interface GigabitEthernet0/10/0 to interface GigabitEthernet0/11/0.
Configure IPv4 addresses on mirrored interface: set interface ip address GigabitEthernet0/10/0 192.168.1.13/24 set interface state GigabitEthernet0/10/0 up
Configure IPv4 addresses on monitoring interface: set interface ip address GigabitEthernet0/11/0 192.168.2.13/24 set interface state GigabitEthernet0/11/0 up
Configure SPAN set span src GigabitEthernet0/10/0 dst GigabitEthernet0/11/0
Active SPAN mirroring CLI show command: show interfaces span
Active SPAN mirroring API dump command: sw_interface_span_dump
