One aspect of the instant application can provide a system and method for packet mirroring. During operation, the system can determine, at a networking device, whether a packet meets a mirror trigger condition based on a first mirror criterion. In response to determining that the mirror trigger condition is met, the system can use a flexible hardware circuit to select, from a plurality of mirror passages, a particular mirror passage based on a second mirror criterion. The system can send the packet to the selected mirror passage, and the selected mirror passage can generate a replicate packet and process the replicate packet.

One aspect of the instant application provides a system and method for generating internal traffic for a switch. During operation, the system configures a replication list comprising a plurality of replication entries, with a respective replication entry corresponding to a destination port on the switch. The system generates a seed packet to be replicated for each replication entry in the replication list, with a destination address of a respective replicated packet corresponding to a replication entry. All replicated packets are associated with a virtual local-area network (VLAN) reserved for the internal traffic. The system then forwards the replicated packets along with external packets received by the switch to corresponding destination ports on the switch.
