Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure local port mirroring with multiple monitor ports, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
•
Configure an unused port on the device as the reflector port. Do not connect a network cable to
the reflector port.
•
When a port is configured as a reflector port, the port restores to the factory default settings. Do
not configure other features on the reflector port.
•
A mirroring group can contain multiple source ports.
•
For correct operation of port mirroring, do not assign a source port to the remote probe VLAN.
•
If you have configured a reflector port for a remote source group, do not configure an egress
port for it.
•
A VLAN can act as the remote probe VLAN for only one remote source group. As a best
practice, use the remote probe VLAN for port mirroring exclusively. Do not create a VLAN
interface or perform other configurations for the VLAN.
•
A remote probe VLAN must be a static VLAN. To delete this static VLAN, first remove the
remote probe VLAN configuration by using the undo mirroring-group remote-probe vlan
command.
•
If the remote probe VLAN of a remote mirroring group is removed, the remote mirroring group
will become invalid.
Configuration procedure
To configure local port mirroring with multiple monitor ports:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a remote
source group.
3. Configure source ports
for the remote source
group.
4. Configure the reflector
port for the remote
source group.
5. Create a VLAN to be
configured as the
remote probe VLAN.
6. Assign monitor ports to
the VLAN.
7. Return to system view.
