Configuring Port-Based Mirroring
Port mirroring, which is also known as port monitoring, selects network traffic that you
can analyze with a network analyzer, such as a SwitchProbe device or other Remote
Monitoring (RMON) probe.
For details on policy-based mirroring, see Configuring Policy-Based Mirroring on page 323.
Setting the Source or Destination Port
To configure a probe port or a monitored port for a monitor session, use the monitor
session
command in the Global configuration mode. Use the no version of the
command without optional parameters to remove the monitor session designation from
the source probe port, the destination monitored port and all VLANs.
Once the port is removed from the VLAN, you must manually add the port to any
desired VLANs. In a session on the OAG4048 there can be up to eight source ports. On
the OmniAccess 2400 SafeGuard/1000 there can be up to three source ports.
