Adding an Inbound or Outbound Mirror Filter Rule
Scenarios
You can add inbound and outbound rules to a mirror filter.
- Inbound rules match the traffic received by a mirror source.
- Outbound rules match the traffic sent by a mirror source.

If traffic enters a network interface of the mirror source, the mirror session will mirror packets that meet the following rule: TCP (IPv4) packets from source 172.16.0.0/24 over port 10000 or 10001 to destination 10.0.0.3/32 over port 80 |

If traffic leaves a network interface of the mirror source, the mirror session will not mirror packets that meet the following rule: IPv4 packets from source 192.168.0.0/24 over any port to destination 10.2.0.0/24 over any port. |
Procedure
- Go to the mirror filter list page.
- Locate the target mirror filter and click the number in the Inbound and Outbound Rules column.
The Inbound Rules tab page is displayed.
- On the Inbound Rules tab, click Add Rule. In the displayed dialog box, set required parameters to add an inbound rule.
You can click to add more inbound rules.
Table 2 Inbound rule parameter description Parameter
Description
Example Value
Priority
Priority of a mirror filter rule.- A priority value can be from 1 to 65535. A smaller value indicates a higher priority.
- Priorities of inbound rules must be unique for each mirror filter.
A mirror filter can contain multiple rules and the rules are matched in ascending order of priority.
For details, see the matching process of mirror filter rules.
1
Protocol
Select a network protocol.- If you select TCP, you can customize the source and destination port ranges.
- If you select UDP, you can customize the source and destination port ranges.
- If you set Type to IPv4 and select ICMP, all ports are specified for source and destination port ranges by default.
- If you set Type to IPv6 and select ICMPv6, all ports are specified for source and destination port ranges by default.
- If you select All, all network protocols are supported and all ports are specified for source and destination port ranges by default.
TCP
Action
Whether to accept or reject inbound traffic of a mirror source.- If you set Action to Accept, the traffic will be mirrored to the mirror target.
- If you set Action to Reject, the traffic will not be mirrored to the mirror target.

Destination Port Range
Destination port range of inbound traffic.- Port range: 1 to 65535
- Use a hyphen (-) to connect the start port and the end port, for example, 22-23. The end port cannot be smaller than the start port.
