Configuring Local Port Mirroring - H3C S9500 Series Operation Manual

Operation Manual – Port Mirroring
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches
Note:
The S9500 series support inter-board mirroring, that is, the mirroring port(s) and the
monitor port can be located on different boards on the same device.
A source device can be connected to its destination device directly without any
intermediate device.
As for the four Ten-GigabitEthernet ports (TE ports) on XP4B and XP4CA boards,
port mirroring can only be implemented between port 1 and 2 (for example,
Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/1/1 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/1/2), and between port 3 and
4 (for example, Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/1/3 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/1/4.)
Caution:
As port mirroring conflicts with STP, RSTP, and MSTP, do not enable STP, RSTP, or
MSTP on monitor ports.

1.2 Configuring Local Port Mirroring

Configuring local port mirroring is to configure local mirroring groups.
A local mirroring group comprises one or multiple mirroring ports and one monitor port.
These ports must not have been assigned to any other mirroring group.
Follow these steps to configure local port mirroring:
Enter system view
Create a local mirroring
group
Assign
ports to
the port
mirroring
group as
mirroring
ports
To do...
system-view
mirroring-group groupid local
mirroring-group groupid
In system mirroring-port
view mirroring-port-list { inbound |
outbound | both }
interface interface-type
interface-number
[ mirroring-group groupid ]
In Ethernet
mirroring-port { inbound |
interface
outbound | both }
view
quit

Use either approach.
In system view, you
can assign a list of
ports to the mirroring
group at a time.
In interface view, you
can assign only the
current port to the
mirroring group. To
monitor multiple
ports, repeat the
step.
