Chapter 6: Setting Port Mirroring
82
Overview
To use the port mirroring feature, you must designate one or more source
ports and one destination port. The source ports are the ports whose
packets are mirrored and monitored. The destination port is the port where
the packets from the source ports are copied and where the network
analyzer is connected. There can be only one destination port on the
switch.
Here are guidelines for setting the port mirroring feature:
The switch supports only one port mirror.
The port mirror can have one destination port.
The port mirror can have more than one source port. This allows you
to monitor the traffic on multiple ports at the same time. For example,
you might monitor the traffic on all the ports of a particular VLAN.
You can mirror the ingress traffic, the egress traffic, or both on the
source ports.
The destination port must not be a member of a static port trunk or an
LACP trunk.
