Configuring A Remote Destination Group On The Destination Device - HP 5920 Configuration Manual

When you configure Layer 2 remote port mirroring, follow these guidelines:
• For a mirrored packet to successfully arrive at the remote destination device, make sure the VLAN
ID of the mirrored packet is not removed or changed.
Layer 2 remote port mirroring does not support using Layer 2 aggregate interfaces as source ports
•
or monitor ports.
Do not enable MVRP on the devices or ports that allow the remote probe VLAN to pass through. If
•
MVRP is enabled, MVRP might register the remote probe VLAN with unexpected ports, resulting in
undesired duplicates. For more information about MVRP, see Layer 2—LAN Switching
Configuration Guide.
• HP recommends that you configure the destination device first, then the intermediate devices, and
then the source device.

Configuring a remote destination group on the destination
device
To configure a remote destination group, make the following configurations on the destination device.
Creating a remote destination group
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a remote destination
group.
Configuring the monitor port for a remote destination 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 have the same results.
When you configure the monitor port for a remote destination group, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
Do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.
•
Use a monitor port only for port mirroring, so the data monitoring device receives and analyzes
•
only the mirrored traffic.
