Configuring the monitor port for the local mirroring group

You can configure the monitor port for a mirroring group in system view, or assign a port to a mirroring
group as the monitor port in interface view. The two modes lead to the same result.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure the monitor port for a local mirroring group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
Do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.
When a Layer 2 aggregate interface is configured as the monitor port, do not configure its member
interfaces as source ports.
A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.
Use a monitor port for port mirroring, so the data monitoring device receives and analyzes only the
mirrored traffic.
Configuration procedure
To configure the monitor port in system view:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
