Is there a way to mirror a sub-set of the packets

I know there are a number of mirroring options: http://www.f5.com/solutions/tech/security/mirroring_to_inspection_device45.html     I also know that you can define packet filtering rules: ...

KC,

 

 

You are referencing a solution based on 4.5 BIG-IP with the SDK for version 9.0. As far as I know VLAN Mirroring is not available in the 9.0 release. The only way I know of mirroring partial packets is on an interface basis. This is known as Port Mirroring. As far as I know VLAN mirroring will be available in 9.0 but I'm not sure of the timeframe.

 

 

The moderators on this forum are here to support iControl related development. We try to help out where we can but in this case I would suggest you contact F5 Technical Support as they will be able to help you out much better than we can here.
