Step
2. Create a remote source
group.
Configuring source ports for the remote source group
If you use system view, you can use a list to configure multiple source ports for a mirroring group at one
time. If you use interface view, you can assign only the current port to the group as a source port, so you
must repeat the step for each additional port.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines:
1.
A mirroring group can contain multiple source ports.
To make sure that the mirroring function works properly, do not assign a source port to the
remote probe VLAN.
2. Configuration procedure:
To configure source ports for the remote source group in system view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure source ports
for the remote source
group.
To configure a source port for the remote source group in interface view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure the current
port as a source port.
Configuring the egress port for the remote source group
You can configure the egress port for a mirroring group in system view, or assign the current port to it as
the egress port in interface view. The two configuration modes lead to the same result.
To make sure that the mirroring function works properly, disable these functions on the egress port: the
spanning tree feature, 802.1X, IGMP snooping, static ARP, and MAC address learning.
To configure the egress port for the remote source group in system view:
Step
1. Enter system view.
