Configuring MAC Address Mirroring

Configuring MAC Address Mirroring
Use the MAC Address > Mirror (Add) page to mirror traffic matching a specified
source address from any port on the switch to a target port for real-time analysis.
You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study
the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive manner.
Command Usage
◆
When mirroring traffic from a MAC address, ingress traffic with the specified
source address entering any port in the switch, other than the target port, will
be mirrored to the destination port.
◆
All mirror sessions must share the same destination port.
◆
Spanning Tree BPDU packets are not mirrored to the target port.
◆
When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the same VLAN
as the source port when using MSTP (see
page 207).
◆
When mirroring VLAN traffic (see
packets based on a source MAC address, the target port cannot be set to the
same target ports as that used for port mirroring (see
Local Port Mirroring" on page
◆
When traffic matches the rules for both port mirroring, and for mirroring of
VLAN traffic or packets based on a MAC address, the matching packets will not
be sent to target port specified for port mirroring.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Source MAC – MAC address in the form of xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xxxxxxxxxxxx.
◆
Target Port – The port that will mirror the traffic from the source port.
