Configuring MAC Address Mirroring
• All mirror sessions must share the same destination port.
• Spanning Tree BPDU packets are not mirrored to the target port.
• When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the same VLAN as the source
port when using MSTP (see “Spanning Tree Algorithm” on page 785).
• When mirroring VLAN traffic (see “Configuring VLAN Mirroring” on page 775) or packets based
on a source MAC address, the target port cannot be set to the same target ports as that used
for port mirroring (see “Configuring Local Port Mirroring” on page 705).
• When traffic matches the rules for both port mirroring, and for mirroring of VLAN traffic or
packets based on a MAC address, the matching packets will not be sent to target port
specified for port mirroring.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• Source MAC – MAC address in the form of xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xxxxxxxxxxxx.
• Target Port – The port that will mirror the traffic from the source port. (Range: 1-12)
Interface
