Configuring Mac-Based Mirroring - 3Com WX3000 Series Operation Manual

Follow these steps to configure remote port mirroring on the destination switch:
To do...
Enter system view
Create a VLAN and enter VLAN
view
Configure the current VLAN as
a remote-probe VLAN
Return to system view
Enter the view of the Ethernet
port connecting to the source
switch or an intermediate
switch
Configure the current port as
trunk port
Configure trunk port to permit
packets from the remote-probe
VLAN
Return to system view
Create a remote destination
mirroring group
Configure the destination port
for the remote destination
mirroring group
Configure the remote-probe
VLAN for the remote
destination mirroring group
When configuring a destination switch, note that:
The destination port of remote port mirroring cannot be a member port of an existing mirroring
group, a member port of an aggregation group, or a port enabled with LACP or STP.
Only an existing static VLAN can be configured as the remote-probe VLAN. To remove a
remote-probe VLAN, you need to restore it to a normal VLAN first. A remote port mirroring group
gets invalid if the corresponding remote port mirroring VLAN is removed.

Configuring MAC-Based Mirroring

The MAC address specified for MAC-based mirroring must be a static MAC address existing in the
MAC address table.
You can configure MAC-based mirroring for a remote source mirroring group to implement the
MAC-based remote mirroring function.
Use the command...
system-view
vlan vlan-id
remote-probe vlan enable
quit
interface interface-type
interface-number
port link-type trunk
port trunk permit vlan
remote-probe-vlan-id
quit
mirroring-group group-id
remote-destination
mirroring-group group-id
monitor-port monitor-port
mirroring-group group-id
remote-probe vlan
remote-probe-vlan-id
