Modular Switch Port-Mirroring Example; Extreme Discovery Protocol - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
Up to eight mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured. After a port has been specified as
a monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function.
NOTE
Frames that contain errors are not mirrored.

Modular Switch Port-Mirroring Example

The following example selects slot 7, port 3 as the mirror port, and sends all traffic coming into or out of
a modular switch on slot 7, port 1 to the mirror port:
configure mirroring add port 7:1
enable mirroring to port 7:3
The following example sends all traffic coming into or out of the system on slot 8, port 1 to the mirror
port:
enable mirroring to port 8:4
configure mirroring add port 8:1

Extreme Discovery Protocol

The Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP) is used to gather information about neighbor Extreme Networks
switches. EDP is used to by the switches to exchange topology information. Information communicated
using EDP includes:
• Switch MAC address (switch ID)
• Switch software version information
• Switch IP address
• Switch VLAN-IP information
• Switch port number
EDP is enabled on all ports by default. EDP enabled ports advertise information about the Extreme
switch to other switches on the interface, and receives advertisements from other Extreme switches.
Information about other Extreme switches is discarded after a timeout interval is reached without
receiving another advertisement.
To disable EDP on one or more ports, use the following command:
disable edp ports [<ports> | all]
To enable EDP on specified ports, use the following command:
enable edp ports [<ports> | all]
To view EDP port information on the switch, use the following command:
show edp {ports [all | <ports>] {detail}}
To configure the advertisement interval and the timeout interval, use the following command:
configure edp advertisment-interval <timer> holddown-interval <timeout>
