A company has a network with HP Provision switches. The network administrator is establishing remote mirroring session between two of the switches. The remote does not use the truncation option.
What must the administrator check on any switches between the mirror source and destination?
Details
For remote traffic mirroring, enable jumbo frames to mirror Ethernet frames larger than 1464 bytes.
On both source and destination switches and any infrastructure switches in between Mirrored frames sent to remote switch include an additional 54-byte mirror encapsulation header
5406zl(config)#vlan 10 jumbo Source switch
5412zl(config)#vlan 10 jumbo Intermediate switch
3500yl(config)#vlan 10 jumb0 Destination switch
When the source switch sends the mirrored data stream to the destination switch, it adds a 54-byte proprietary ('mirror encapsulation') header to the Layer 2 frame, increasing the total size of the frame.
