Abstract
Embodiments presented herein describe techniques for selecting incoming network frames to be mirrored using an access control list. According to one embodiment, an incoming frame is received. Upon determining that the incoming frame matches an entry in the access control list, a mirror field of the entry is evaluated. The mirror field identifies at least one mirroring action to perform on the frame. The identified mirroring action is performed on the frame.
