ACI: Creating a Copy Device Using the GUI

(This is from ACI Built in Help)

You must have configured a tenant.

A copy device is used as part of the copy services feature to create a copy node. A copy node specifies at which point of the data flow between endpoint groups to copy traffic.

This procedure only creates a copy device and does not configure anything else that is required to use the copy services feature. For information about configuring copy services, see Configuring Copy Services Using the GUI.
