Configuring Monitor Link Group Member Ports; Displaying And Maintaining Monitor Link - 3Com 4500G Family Configuration Manual

Configuring Monitor Link Group Member Ports

You can configure member ports for a monitor link group either in monitor link group view or interface
view. The configurations made in these two views lead to the same result.
In monitor link group view
Follow these steps to configure member ports for a monitor link group in monitor link group view:
Enter system view
Enter monitor link group view
Configure member ports for the monitor
link group
In interface view
Follow these steps to configure member ports for a monitor link group in interface view:
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet interface view or Layer 2
aggregate interface view
Configure the current interface as a
member of a monitor link group
You can assign a Layer 2 Ethernet interface or Layer 2 aggregate interface to a monitor link group
as a member port.
A port can be assigned to only one monitor link group.
You are recommended to configure uplink ports prior to downlink ports, thus avoiding undesired
down/up state changes on the downlink ports.
