Configuring layer 3 remote port mirroring

Layer 3 remote port mirroring configuration task list

To configure Layer 3 remote port mirroring, create a local port mirroring group on the source device as
well as on the destination device, and configure mirroring ports/CPUs and the monitor port for each
mirroring group. The source and destination devices are connected by a tunnel.
On the source device, you must configure the ports/CPUs you want to monitor as the mirroring
•
ports/CPUs, and configure the tunnel interface as the monitor port.
On the destination device, you must configure the physical port corresponding to the tunnel interface
•
as the mirroring port and configure the port that connects the data monitoring device as the monitor
port.
Complete these tasks to configure Layer 3 remote port mirroring:
Task
Configuring the source
device.
Configuring the
destination device.
NOTE:
On the HP 5800&5820X switch series, you can configure a port as the source port of multiple
mirroring groups, so that traffic passing through the port can be mirrored to multiple monitor ports.
On the HP 5800 switch series, unidirectional traffic of a source port occupies one mirroring resource,
•
and bidirectional traffic of a source port occupies two mirroring resources. The HP 5800 switch series
can assign up to four mirroring resources for each source port. As a result, you can add a port to
four mirroring groups as unidirectional source ports, to two mirroring groups as bidirectional source
ports, or to three mirroring groups as a bidirectional source port in one mirroring group and
unidirectional ports in two mirroring groups.
The HP 5820X switch series allows you to add a source port to up to two mirroring groups.
•
NOTE:
A source port cannot be used as the egress or monitor port of the current or another mirroring group.
