use other ports in the load-sharing group will have those ports deleted from the VLAN when load
sharing becomes enabled.
Single-Module Load Sharing on a Modular Switch
The following example defines a load-sharing group that contains ports 9 through 12 on slot 3 and uses
the first port as the master logical port 9:
enable sharing 3:9 grouping 3:9-3:12
In this example, logical port 3:9 represents physical ports 3:9 through 3:12.
Verifying the Load-Sharing Configuration
The screen output resulting from the show ports sharing command lists the ports that are involved in
load sharing and the master logical port identity. The following shows sample output from this
command:

Switch Port Mirroring
Port mirroring configures the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports. The monitor
port can be then connected to a network analyzer or RMON probe for packet analysis. The system uses
a traffic filter that copies a group of traffic to the monitor port. You can have only one monitor port on
the switch.
The traffic filter can be defined based on one of the following criteria:
• Physical port—All data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration, is copied to the
monitor port.
• VLAN—All data to and from a particular VLAN, regardless of the physical port configuration, is
copied to the monitor port.
• Virtual port—All data specific to a VLAN on a specific port is copied to the monitor port.
Up to 16 mirroring filters and 1 monitor port can be configured. After a port has been specified as a
monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function.
Switch port mirroring is disabled by default.
