Mirroring Configuration Examples

Local Mirroring Destination

Example of Local Mirroring Configuration. A system operator wants to
mirror the inbound traffic from workstation "X" on port A5 and workstation
"Y" on port B17 to a traffic analyzer connected to port C24. In this case, the
operator chooses "1" as the session number. (Any unused session number
from 1 to 4 is valid.) Since the switch provides both the source and destination
for the traffic to monitor, local mirroring can be configured. In this case, the
command sequence is:
1. Configure the local mirroring session.
2. Assign a mirroring source to the session.
