Description

Analyzer is down when configuring input ingress vlan

Symptoms

Port mirror analyzer works fine with physical interfaces, but is down when configuriing input ingress vlan.


set forwarding-options analyzer port-mirror-analyzer input ingress vlan <vlan-id>

set forwarding-options analyzer port-mirror-analyzer interface xe-0/0/8.0

 


  

user@switch> show forwarding-options analyzer port-analyser

 Analyzer name                   : port-mirror-analyzer

 Mirror rate                     : 1

 Maximum packet length           : 0

 State                           : down




Solution

The behavior is observed because the vlan belongs to a routing instance and if the routing-instance is not added the analyzer configuration it won't work.

Configure the routing instance on the analyzer to make it work.
