Usage Guidelines
Port mirroring configures the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports to a monitor
port on the switch. The monitor port can be connected to a network analyzer or RMON probe for
packet analysis. The switch uses a traffic filter that copies a group of traffic to the monitor port.
Up to 16 mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured on the switch. After a port has been
specified as a monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function. Frames that contain errors are not
mirrored.
BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches (formerly known as Aspen) and the Summit X450 switch only. The
traffic filter can be defined based on one of the following criteria:
Physical port—All data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration, is copied to the
●
monitor port. You can specify which traffic the port mirrors:
Ingress—Mirrors traffic received at the port.
■
Egress—Mirrors traffic sent from the port.
■
Ingress and egress—Mirrors all traffic forwarded by the port.
■
(If you omit the optional parameters, all traffic is forwarded; the default for port-based mirroring
is ingress and egress).
VLAN—All data to a particular VLAN, regardless of the physical port configuration, is copied to the
●
monitor port.
Virtual port—All data specific to a VLAN on a specific port is copied to the monitor port.
●
Only 8 VLANs can be mirrored on a given physical port.
●
Only traffic ingressing a VLAN can be monitored; you cannot specify ingressing or egressing traffic
●
when mirroring VLAN traffic.
