ABSTRACT:
A network device for implementing mirroring on packets. The network device includes a plurality of ports, each of which is at least one of an ingress port, an egress port and a mirror-to port. The network device also includes processing means for supporting a plurality of mirroring types. Each of the ingress port, egress port and mirror-to port includes at least one register for supporting the plurality of mirroring types. To support mirroring at each of the ingress port, egress port and mirror-to port predefined bits in the at least one register are set. When an incoming packet is received, the predefined bits are examined to determine which of the plurality of mirroring types to apply to the packet.
