Port Mirroring Configuration Rules
The following configuration rules must be applied to any port mirroring
configuration:
1.
A monitor port cannot be configured as a trunk member.
2.
When a port is configured and enabled as a monitor port, the port is
automatically disabled from participating in the spanning tree. When the port
is reconfigured as a standard switch port (no longer a monitor port), the port
becomes enabled for spanning tree participation.
3.
When creating a port-based port mirroring configuration, be sure that the
monitor port and both of the mirrored ports, port X and port Y, are configured
on the same VLAN. Use the VLAN Configuration screen to configure the
VLAN (see “VLAN Configuration” on page 3-21).
4.
VLAN configuration settings for any ports configured for port-based
mirroring cannot be changed. Use the Port Mirroring Configuration screen to
disable port mirroring (or reconfigure the port mirroring ports), then change
the VLAN configuration settings. See also Step 3.
Quick-Start Procedures
This section provides Quick-Start procedures for installing and setting up the
BayStack 350 switch. It is intended for experienced network installers or system
administrators who are familiar with the BayStack 350 switch installation and
setup procedures in this manual.
If you have experience installing network devices, or if you are installing multiple
BayStack 350 switches, you can use the installation flowchart provided in this
section to guide you through the installation. If you need more information about
any of the steps in the flowchart, see Chapter 2, “Installing the BayStack 350
Switch” for a complete explanation of the installation process.
After you have verified the installation, you can use other Quick-Start procedures
in this section to set up and begin managing the switch. For detailed information
about setting up the switch and using the console interface (CI) menus and
screens, see Chapter 3, “Using the Console Interface.”
