Configure Local Port Mirroring With Multiple Monitor Ports - HPE FlexNetwork 5510 HI Series Network Management And Monitoring Configuration Manual

•
For a Layer 2 aggregate interface configured as the monitor port, do not configure its member
ports as source ports.
•
A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.
•
Use a monitor port only for port mirroring, so the data monitoring device receives only the
mirrored traffic.

Configure local port mirroring with multiple monitor ports

Typically, you can configure only one monitor port in a local mirroring group. To configure local port
mirroring to support multiple monitor ports, use the remote probe VLAN.
In Layer 2 remote port mirroring, mirrored packets are broadcast within the remote probe VLAN.
To broadcast mirrored packets to multiple local monitor ports through the remote probe VLAN,
perform the following tasks:
1. Create a remote source group on the local device.
2. Specify the reflector port for this mirroring group.
3. Configure the remote probe VLAN for this mirroring group.
4. Assign the local monitor ports to the remote probe VLAN.
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.
