NAME
mirred - mirror/redirect action SYNOPSIS
tc ... action mirred DIRECTION ACTION [ index INDEX ] dev DEVICENAME DIRECTION := { ingress | egress } ACTION := { mirror | redirect } DESCRIPTION
The 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. OPTIONS
ingress egress Specify the direction in which the packet shall appear on the destination interface. mirror redirect Define whether the packet should be copied (mirror) or moved (redirect) to the destination interface. index INDEX Assign a unique ID to this action instead of letting the kernel choose one automatically. INDEX is a 32bit unsigned integer greater than zero. dev DEVICENAME Specify the network interface to redirect or mirror to. EXAMPLES
Limit ingress bandwidth on eth0 to 1mbit/s, redirect exceeding traffic to lo for debugging purposes: # 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 Mirror all incoming ICMP packets on eth0 to a dummy interface for examination with e.g. tcpdump: # 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 Using an ifb interface, it is possible to send ingress traffic through an instance of sfq: # 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 SEE ALSO

NAME
matchall - traffic control filter that matches every packet SYNOPSIS
tc filter ... matchall [ skip_sw | skip_hw ] [ action ACTION_SPEC ] [ classid CLASSID ] DESCRIPTION
The matchall filter allows to classify every packet that flows on the port and run a action on it. OPTIONS
action ACTION_SPEC Apply an action from the generic actions framework on matching packets. classid CLASSID Push matching packets into the class identified by CLASSID. skip_sw Do not process filter by software. If hardware has no offload support for this filter, or TC offload is not enabled for the inter- face, operation will fail. skip_hw Do not process filter by hardware. EXAMPLES
To create ingress mirroring from port eth1 to port eth2: tc qdisc add dev eth1 handle ffff: ingress tc filter add dev eth1 parent ffff: matchall skip_sw action mirred egress mirror dev eth2 The first command creats an ingress qdisc with handle ffff: on device eth1 where the second command attaches a matchall filters on it that mirrors the packets to device eth2. To create egress mirroring from port eth1 to port eth2: tc qdisc add dev eth1 handle 1: root prio tc filter add dev eth1 parent 1: matchall skip_sw action mirred egress mirror dev eth2 The first command creats an egress qdisc with handle 1: that replaces the root qdisc on device eth1 where the second command attaches a matchall filters on it that mirrors the packets to device eth2. To sample one of every 100 packets flowing into interface eth0 to psample group 12: tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: matchall action sample rate 100 group 12 SEE ALSO
