Chapter 15: Port mirroring configuration

The port mirroring feature is supported only on the interface module Ethernet ports.
You can configure a maximum of one analyzer (destination) port for each module.
There is no limitation on the number of ports that can be monitored for "receive" packets. However, each
analyzer port can monitor up to eight ports for both transmit and receive (both) packets.

Enabling port mirroring

Use the procedure in this section to configure one mirroring port (destination port) for each
mirrored port (source port).
The analyzer and monitor ports can reside either on the same slot or on different slots.
Procedure steps
1. To access configuration mode, enter:
2. To enable port mirroring, enter:

Variable Value
The interface ID that identifies the mirroring
port. For example, ethernet5/1.
The direction of packets that you want to
mirror. Use a value of both to mirror both
