.TH "Mirror/redirect action in tc" 8 "11 Jan 2015" "iproute2" "Linux"
.SH NAME
mirred - mirror/redirect action
.SH SYNOPSIS
.in +8
.ti -8
.BR tc " ... " "action mirred"
.I DIRECTION ACTION
.RB "[ " index
.IR INDEX " ] "
.BI dev " DEVICENAME"
.ti -8
.IR DIRECTION " := { "
.BR ingress " | " egress " }"
.ti -8
.IR ACTION " := { "
.BR mirror " | " redirect " }"
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B mirred
action allows packet mirroring (copying) or redirecting (stealing) the packet it
receives. Mirroring is what is sometimes referred to as Switch Port Analyzer
(SPAN) and is commonly used to analyze and/or debug flows.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B ingress
.TQ
.B egress
Specify the direction in which the packet shall appear on the destination
interface.
.TP
.B mirror
.TQ
.B redirect
Define whether the packet should be copied
.RB ( mirror )
or moved
.RB ( redirect )
to the destination interface.
.TP
.BI index " INDEX"
Assign a unique ID to this action instead of letting the kernel choose one
automatically.
.I INDEX
is a 32bit unsigned integer greater than zero.
.TP
.BI dev " DEVICENAME"
Specify the network interface to redirect or mirror to.
.SH EXAMPLES
Limit ingress bandwidth on eth0 to 1mbit/s, redirect exceeding traffic to lo for
debugging purposes:
.RS
.EX
# tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
# tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: u32 \\
match u32 0 0 \\
action police rate 1mbit burst 100k conform-exceed pipe \\
action mirred egress redirect dev lo
.EE
.RE
Mirror all incoming ICMP packets on eth0 to a dummy interface for examination
with e.g. tcpdump:
.RS
.EX
# ip link add dummy0 type dummy
# ip link set dummy0 up
# tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
# tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip \\
u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff \\
action mirred egress mirror dev dummy0
.EE
.RE
Using an
.B ifb
interface, it is possible to send ingress traffic through an instance of
.BR sfq :
.RS
.EX
# modprobe ifb
# ip link set ifb0 up
# tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root sfq
# tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
# tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: u32 \\
match u32 0 0 \\
action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0
