SPAN port mirroring can copy the inbound/outbound traffic of the interface to
the specified interface, usually the interface can be connected to some special
equipment, such as behavior control system, intrusion detection system and
traffic collector, and can copy all related traffic from this port
traffic collector, and can copy all related traffic from this port.
The benefit of mirroring the traffic is that the application is isolated from
the source traffic and so application processing does not affect the traffic
or the system performance.
VyOS uses the `mirror` option to configure port mirroring. The configuration
is divided into 2 different directions. Destination ports should be configured

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces ethernet <interface> mirror <interface>
Use this command to mirror the inbound traffic from one Ethernet interface to
another interface. This feature is typically used to provide a copy of traffic
inbound on one interface to a system running a monitoring or IPS application
on another interface. The benefit of mirroring the traffic is that the
application is isolated from the source traffic and so application processing
does not affect the traffic or the system performance.
Example:
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces ethernet eth0 mirror eth1
