configure the port that connects a data monitoring device as the monitor port.
To configure the monitor port for a mirroring group, use one of the following methods:
•
Configure the monitor port for the mirroring group in system view.
•
Assign a port to the mirroring group as the monitor port in interface view.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure the monitor port for a local mirroring group, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
•
A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.
•
Do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.
•
Use a monitor port only for port mirroring, so the data monitoring device receives only the
mirrored traffic.
