Fetch capability of mirror before configuring it #4089

stephenxs · 2025-10-11T09:50:12Z

What I did

Fetch capability of ingress/egress mirror before configuring it and avoid configuring ingress/egress mirror on a platform that does not support it.

How I did it

Check the capability in PORT_INGRESS_MIRROR_CAPABLE and PORT_EGRESS_MIRROR_CAPABLE in STATE_DB table SWITCH_CAPABILITY.
The capability of ingress/egress mirror is inserted to STATE_DB by orchagent during initialization.

How to verify it

Manual test and unit test

Previous command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed)

New command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed)

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds ASIC capability checking for port mirror direction support before allowing mirror session configuration. The change prevents users from configuring mirror sessions with directions (rx/tx/both) that are not supported by the underlying ASIC hardware.

Added is_port_mirror_capability_supported() function to query STATE_DB for ASIC capabilities
Integrated capability validation into validate_mirror_session_config()
Added comprehensive test coverage for capability checking functionality

@stephenxs this change causes test failure when advancing sonic-utilities submodule. We need to revert to move forward.

@stephenxs this change is causing show_techsupport/test_techsupport.py to fail at multi-asic deployment. But this is a good change to have. I will see if that is the only failure. if it is, then I am leaning towards file an issue to xfail it and let you work on a fix. Please stay tuned.
