Hi

I have to implement port mirroring feature in linux.ie All inbound-
outbound packets of a particular interface are mirrored to another
interface. I need to implement it in both the bridging and routing
paths.Is there any utility in linux which helps to do this?

Please help!

Thanks,
Jeniffer.

Are you trying to set up a bridge?http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bridge/index.html

PS Good luck on your homework....

thanks for the reply but No, I dont have to set up a bridge.A bridge
looks at its table's entry and says that packets with the mac 'Mi'
must be forwarding to interface X.Bridge does flooding,learning and
forwarding.
I need a behavior where I say that all packets coming and going on an
interface X must be given to another interface Y.
