Defining Port Mirroring Sessions

Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing
packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or
debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and
different ports from which the packets copied. Before configuring port mirroring, note the
following:
Monitored ports cannot operate faster than the monitoring port.
Maximum number of source ports is eight.
Only one mirroring session can be configured at a time.
The following restrictions apply to ports configured to be destination ports:
Ports cannot be configured as a source port.
Ports cannot be a LAG member.
IP interfaces are not configured on the port.
GVRP is not enabled on the port.
The port is not a VLAN member.
Only one destination port can be defined.
The following restrictions apply to ports configured to be source ports:
Source Ports cannot be a LAG member.
Ports cannot be configured as a destination port.
All packets are transmitted tagged from the destination port.
All the TX packets should be monitored to the same port.
