Configuring Local Port Mirroring - 3Com 4500G Family Configuration Manual

Destination device
The destination device is the device where the monitor port is located. On it, you must create the remote
destination mirroring group.
When receiving a packet, the destination device compares the VLAN ID carried in the packet with the ID
of the probe VLAN configured in the remote destination mirroring group. If they are the same, the device
forwards the packet to the monitoring device through the monitor port.
To make the port mirroring function work properly, before configuring bidirectional traffic mirroring on a
port in a mirroring group, you need to use the mac-address mac-learning disable command on the
source device, intermediate devices, and destination device to disable the MAC address learning
function for the remote port mirroring VLAN. For more information about the mac-address
mac-learning disable command, refer to MAC Address Table Management Commands in the System
Volume.

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 a local mirroring group:
To do...

You can configure
mirroring ports in a
mirroring group.
In system view, you can
configure a list of
mirroring 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.
