Port Mirroring; Port-Based Port Mirroring - HP 445860-B21 - 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Command Reference Manual

Port mirroring

Command: /cfg/pmirr
[Port Mirroring Menu]
The Port Mirroring Configuration Menu is used to configure, enable, and disable the monitored port.
When enabled, network packets being sent and/or received on a target port are duplicated and sent to a
monitor port. By attaching a network analyzer to the monitor port, you can collect detailed information
about your network performance and usage. Port mirroring is disabled by default.
NOTE: See the "Troubleshooting tools" appendix in the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application
Guide for information on how to use port mirroring.

Description
Adds the port to be mirrored. This command also allows you to enter
the direction of the traffic. It is necessary to specify the direction
because:
If the source port of the frame matches the mirrored port and the
mirrored direction is ingress or both (ingress and egress), the
frame is sent to the mirrored port.
If the destination port of the frame matches the mirrored port and
the mirrored direction is egress or both, the frame is sent to the
monitoring port.
Removes the mirrored port.
Deletes this monitored port.
