HiHi,

In Sangfor NGAF, mirror interfaces cannot be added to layer 2 zones but other options are allowed.
Is this answer helpful?

Hi,

The most suitable interface type to implement to a layer 2 zone is the VLAN interface. But the rest can be added to layer 2 zone except for the Mirror Interface

In layer 2 zones, VLAN interfaces are typically used for network segmentation. While virtual interfaces and mirror interfaces have their uses, VLAN interfaces are the most common and relevant for this purpose. Route interfaces, primarily used for layer 3 routing, are less directly associated with layer 2 zoning.

Hi, Sangfor NGAF supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 interface types.

In a Layer 2 interface, the interface is similar to a common switch. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 environments. There’s no need to configure an IP address, it doesn’t support route forwarding, and it forwards data according to the MAC address table.

In a Layer 3 interface, you can configure an IP address for the interface. This type of interface is used for routing and forwarding data based on IP addresses.

In general, a mirror interface (also known as a SPAN port) is used to forward copies of network packets from one interface to another, which is useful for network troubleshooting or for implementing network intrusion detection systems.

As i know, you can't add mirror interface to a layer 2 zone.

In a Layer 2 zone, VLAN interface can be added. VLAN interfaces are used to segment the network into virtual LANs, providing logical separation and isolation of traffic within a Layer 2 network. VLAN interfaces allow different VLANs to communicate with each other through routing or Layer 3 interfaces, while keeping the traffic segregated at Layer 2.
