Monitoring An Individual Trunk Port - HP ProCurve 9304M Installation And Configuration Manual

If you specify both for the traffic direction to be monitored, only the inbound traffic monitoring is disabled on the
other ports.
To configure more than one mirror port, enter commands such as the following:
HP9300(config)# mirror-port ethernet 1/1
HP9300(config)# mirror-port ethernet 5/1
HP9300(config)# mirror-port ethernet 5/1
HP9300(config)# mirror-port ethernet 5/2
These commands configure four mirror ports.
The following commands configure ports on the module in slot 1 to be mirrored by port 1/1:
HP9300(config)# interface ethernet 1/2
HP9300(config-if-1/2)# monitor ethernet 1/1 in
HP9300(config-if-1/2)# interface ethernet 1/3
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# monitor ethernet 1/1 in
HP9300(config-if-1/3)# interface ethernet 1/4
HP9300(config-if-1/4)# monitor ethernet 1/1 in
These commands configure the inbound traffic on ports 1/2 – 1/4 to be mirrored to port 1/1.
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
Suppose you want to diagnose the in and out on traffic on port 3 on a module in slot 4 of an HP 9300 series using
port 1 in slot 4. To do so:
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Select the Advance link to display the advanced system configuration panel.
3. Select the slot (if applicable) and port from the corresponding pulldown menus next to Mirror Slot. In this
example, select slot 4 and port 1.
4. Click Apply to save the changes to the device's running-config file.
5. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
6. Click on the plus sign next to Port in the tree view to display the configuration options.
7. Select the link to the port type you want (for example, Ethernet) to display the Port table.
8. Click the Modify button next to the port you want to monitor. In this example, select port 3 on the module in
slot 4 (4/3).
9. Select the traffic direction you want to monitor. For this example, select the In & Out.
10. Click Apply to save the changes to the device's running-config file.
11. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.

Monitoring an Individual Trunk Port

By default, when you monitor the primary port in a trunk group, aggregated traffic for all the ports in the trunk
group is copied to the mirror port. You can configure the device to monitor individual ports in a trunk group. You
can monitor the primary port or a secondary port individually.
NOTE: In the current release, you can use only one mirror port for each monitored trunk port.
To monitor traffic on an individual port in a trunk group, enter commands such as the following:
HP9300(config)# mirror ethernet 2/1
HP9300(config)# trunk switch ethernet 4/1 to 4/8
