The destination port can be on the same switch or on a different
switch(Remote Analyzer).
Value 1 specifies that the destination interface is on the same
switch and it receives a copy of traffic from the source ports.
The port does not transmit any traffic except that required for
the analyzer session.
The traffic for each Remote Analyzer session is carried over a
user-specified Remote Analyzer VLAN that is dedicated for that
Remote Analyzer session in all participating switches. A special
vlan is confgiured exclusively for remote mirroring by marking it
as analyzer vlan. Intermediate switches will have a few ports
(minimum of 2 ports )as members of the analyzer vlan. These
are the trunk ports which act as the link between the switches.
The analyzer ports on the destination switch are also added to
the Analyzer VLAN.
Value 2 specifies that the traffic from all the source ports is
copied into the Remote Analyzer vlan specified by the vlan name.
In the source switch the analyzer session destination is given
as the analyzer vlan. In the intermediate switches the analyzer
sessions have the source and the destination as the analyzer vlan.
The packet will reach the destination ports as it will be a part
of the analyzer vlan.
