ABSTRACT:
A method and network device to generate a remote traffic monitoring session using an automated technique to configure the source and destination devices of the monitoring system is disclosed. The method includes discovering a Layer 3 (L3) source device and an L3 destination device and automatically configuring the devices. The L3 source device passes target traffic that will be monitored via the L3 destination device in a remote traffic monitoring session. The method verifies configurations of the L3 source device and the L3 destination device, and determines remote monitoring capabilities common to the L3 source device and the L3 destination device. The method negotiates relevant parameters for the remote traffic monitoring session and establishes the remote traffic monitoring session between the L3 source device and the L3 destination device.
