n
For a centralized I/O Module, if multiple source ports are specified in remote
■
port mirroring configuration, all the source ports must be on the same I/O
Module.
You can configure only one reflector port of a remote source mirroring group
■
or one destination port of a local mirroring group on each centralized I/O
Module. As for the distributed system, you can configure only one reflector
port of a remote source mirroring group or one destination port of a local
mirroring group for the whole system. Only one mirroring destination I/O
Module can be configured for the centralized or distributed system, and can be
referenced by only one local mirroring group.
To mirror tagged packets, you need to configure VLAN VPN on the reflector
■
port.
The reflector ports are mutually exclusive with STP or DLDP. That is, if STP or
■
DLDP is enabled on a port, you are not recommended to configure it as a
reflector port; and vice versa, you are not recommended to enable STP or DLDP
on a reflector port.
The reflector port cannot forward traffics as a normal port. Therefore, it is
■
recommended that you use an idle and in-down-state port as the reflector
port, and be careful to not add other settings on this port.
Be sure not to configure a port used to connect the intermediate and
■
destination switches as the mirroring source port. Otherwise traffic disorder
may occur in the network.
