ERSPAN feature limitations

  • The maximum number of mirroring sessions per device is four.
  • VLAN mirroring is not supported.
  • In some cases, speed mismatches may prevent mirroring of all traffic.
  • You cannot terminate the Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel on an ICX switch. ERSPAN must be terminated on the host/analyzer.
  • ERSPAN has not been tested against implementations by other vendors.
  • Source-IP in the ERSPAN profile must belong to the default VRF. The non-default VRF does not support source-IP.
