Port receiving monitored traffic.

Monitored Ports

Configuring the monitor port

[no] mirror-port [< port-num >]

This command assigns or removes a monitoring port, and must be executed from the global configuration level.

Removing the monitor port disables port monitoring and resets the monitoring parameters to their factory-default

For example, to assign port 6 as the monitoring port:

switch(config)# mirror-port 6

To turn off monitoring:

switch(config)# no mirror-port

After you configure a monitor port you can use either the global configuration level or the interface context level to

select ports, static trunks, or VLANs as monitoring sources. You can also use either level to remove monitoring

[no] interface <monitor-list> monitor

<monitor-list>

NOTE: Individual ports and static trunks can be monitored at the same time. However, if you

configure the switch to monitor a VLAN, all other interfaces are removed from monitoring. Also, you

can configure only one VLAN at a time for monitoring.

Elements in the monitor list can include port numbers and static trunk names at the same time.

For example, with a port such as port 5 configured as the monitoring (mirror) port, you would use either of the

following commands to select these interfaces for monitoring:

Ports 6-9, and 14

Selecting ports and static trunks as monitoring sources

switch(config)# int 6-9, 14 trk2, monitor

To monitor a VLAN:

Configuring VLAN monitoring

switch(config)# vlan 20 monitor

switch(config)# show monitor

Includes port numbers and static trunk names such as 4, 7, 5-8, trk1.
