Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
On a modular switch, <port> will be a slot and port in the form <slot>:<port>. For a detailed
explanation of port specification, see “Modular Switch Numerical Ranges” or “Line-Editing Keys” in
Chapter 1.
You must enable port-mirroring using the enable mirroring command before you can configure the
mirroring filter definitions.
Up to 16 mirroring definitions can be added.
Port-mirroring configures the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports to a monitor
port on the switch. The monitor port can be connected to a network analyzer or RMON probe for
packet analysis.
Up to 16 mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured on the switch. After a port has been
specified as a monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function. Frames that contain errors are not
mirrored.
Example
The following example sends all traffic coming into or out of a switch on slot 3, port 2 to the mirror
port:
configure mirroring add port 3:2
