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
