I have a virtual chassis of 2 EX4600-40f. The 4 ports (0/0/1, 0/0/2, 0/0/3, 0/0/4) where my ESX are connected are configured in trunk mode with some vlans.
I would like to copy the traffic (tagged) of my 4 ESX to a port (1/0/27) in order to analyze it.
I already configured an analyzer on the swtich :
input {
ingress {
interface xe-0/0/1.0;
interface xe-0/0/2.0;
interface xe-0/0/3.0;
interface xe-0/0/4.0;
}
egress {
interface xe-0/0/1.0;
interface xe-0/0/2.0;
interface xe-0/0/3.0;
interface xe-0/0/4.0;
}
}
output {
interface xe-1/0/21.0;
}
ports to be mirrored config :
xe-0/0/2 {
unit 0 {family ethernet-switching {
interface-mode trunk;
vlan {
members [ 15 51 123 207 2260-2263 ];
port to connect the network analyzer :
xe-1/0/21 {
unit 0 {
family ethernet-switching {
interface-mode access;
But I have incorrect vlan tag on packet received by the server on the port 1/0/21, half of the traffic is tagged and the rest is not.
How can I do ?
Is it possible to mirror a trunk port and keep tags?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Try to put interface xe-1/0/21 in trunk mode instead of access. I recall by experience on MX platform that I had to set a similar option on mirror port while doing layer2 mirroring for the packets to keep the tag. So maybe the same trick will do the job on EX. I didnt find documentation on this though.
