Dynamic IP Routing

NOTE: Dynamic Routing Protocols (OSPF/RIP) are supported.

Port Mirroring
  • Port Mirroring is implemented as Pipe-Pipe (that is, what comes in or goes out of a port gets forwarded onto Analyzer-Port).
  • Port Mirroring on the SBC 1000/2000 would mainly function without missed mirror packets.
  • Mirrors everything arriving at Mirror-Port in the SBC 1000/2000.
  • Some extensions (analyzer port MAC entry) are mandatory.
  • Directional mirroring (TX/RX/Both) is supported.
  • A port chosen as "Mirror Port" does not accept taking calls; this is specifically used to mirror packets.
  • Mirrors only UNICAST frames within MTU size.
  • An Analyzer port functions as a transmit-only port; no packets received on this port go through processing.
  • Dynamic switch to Media port happens when mirroring is stopped.
  • Packets mirrored are sent to the "analyzer port" as destination MAC; this is obtained from the user.
  • Port mirroring is completed at the virtualized guest layers and the software. Since the amount of resources (for example, memory) is quite finite and determined during startup, packets that would need mirroring could be skipped.
  • Processes layers of classification, and DOS attack prevents layers before Port Mirroring.
