Configuring Layer 2 remote port mirroring

Layer 2 remote port mirroring configuration task list

Configuring Layer 2 remote port mirroring is to configure remote mirroring groups. To do that, configure
the remote source group on the source device and configure the cooperating remote destination group
on the destination device. If an intermediate device exists, allow the remote probe VLAN to pass through
the intermediate device.
NOTE:
HP recommends you not enable GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP). If GVRP is enabled, GVRP
may register the remote probe VLAN to unexpected ports, resulting in undesired duplicates. For more
information about GVRP, see
Configure the following on the source device:
Source ports
•
Remote probe VLAN
•
• The egress port
Then, configure the following on the destination device:
Remote probe VLAN
•
Monitor port
•
