.. 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
