    Posted Apr 07, 2025 04:51 PM

    Hello

    Was wondering if the below is possible

    need to setup remote mirror between Core - AOS-S ( 3810M) and Comware 7 (5900)
    mirror source will come from 3810 sent to 5900 that has the appliance connected to analyze the packet

    I have these commands as examples that  I am seeing from both vendors guides

    thank you


    Aruba:

    Syntax

    mirror <SESSION> <session> remote ip </session><SRC-IP> <SRC-UDP-PORT> <DST-IP>

    interface <PORT>

    monitor <all>

    Description
    Configures a remote mirroring destination 

    Comware:

    # Create a remote destination group.

    [DeviceC] mirroring-group 2 remote-destination

    # Create VLAN 2.

    [DeviceC] vlan 2

    [DeviceC-vlan2] quit

    # Configure VLAN 2 as the remote probe VLAN for the mirroring group.

    [DeviceC] mirroring-group 2 remote-probe vlan 2

    # Configure FortyGigE 1/0/2 as the monitor port for the mirroring group.

    [DeviceC] interface fortygige 1/0/2

    [DeviceC-FortyGigE1/0/2] mirroring-group 2 monitor-port

    On Source Side, Aruba 3810M with ArubaOS (but make sure mirror 1 is configured before applying it on the interface):
    mirror 1 remote ip 10.10.10.1 1234 10.10.10.2
    interface 1/1/1
       monitor all both mirror 1

    On Comware, 
    mirroring-group 2 remote-destination
    vlan 2
    interface Vlan-interface2
       ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0
    interface FortyGigE 1/0/2
       port access vlan 2
       mirroring-group 2 monitor-port

    Usually, according to what i have read, Comware does not support decapsulation of UDP natively. It only supports local port mirroring and remote mirroring using remote-probe VLAN. So in this case, you need to terminate the UDP packets (as for example a dedicated analyzer behind the Comware switch) or just forward the mirrored UDP packets untouched through a dedicated VLAN to your analyzer.
