Configuring Layer 2 Remote Port Mirroring; Configuring A Remote Destination Group On The Destination Device - HPE FlexFabric 5700 Series Network Management And Monitoring Configuration Manual

Step
8. Configure the VLAN
above as the remote
probe VLAN for the
remote source group.

Configuring Layer 2 remote port mirroring

To configure Layer 2 remote port mirroring, perform the following tasks:
•
Configure a remote source group on the source device.
•
Configure a cooperating remote destination group on the destination device.
•
If intermediate devices exist, configure the following devices and ports to allow the remote
probe VLAN to pass through.
Intermediate devices.
Ports connected to the intermediate devices on the source and destinations devices.
When you configure Layer 2 remote port mirroring, follow these guidelines:
•
For a mirrored packet to successfully arrive at the remote destination device, make sure its
VLAN ID is not removed or changed.
•
A Layer 2 aggregate interface cannot be configured as the source port or monitor port of a Layer
2 remote source or destination group.
•
Do not enable MVRP on the devices or ports that allow the remote probe VLAN to pass through.
If MVRP is enabled, MVRP might register the remote probe VLAN with unexpected ports,
resulting in undesired copies. For more information about MVRP, see Layer 2—LAN Switching
Configuration Guide.
•
As a best practice, configure devices in the order of the destination device, the intermediate
devices, and the source device.
