Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a remote destination
group.
Configuring the monitor port for the remote destination group
You can configure the monitor port for a mirroring group in system view, or assign the current port to a
mirroring group as the monitor port in interface view. The two methods lead to the same result.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines:
1.
A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.
To make sure that the mirroring function works properly, do not enable the spanning tree
feature on the monitor port.
HP recommends you use a monitor port only for port mirroring. This is to make sure that the
data monitoring device receives and analyzes only the mirrored traffic rather than a mix of
mirrored traffic and normally forwarded traffic.
You cannot configure the monitor port in a mirroring group as a port in a RRPP ring.
Configuration procedure:

2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure the current
port as the monitor

Configuring the remote probe VLAN for the remote destination group
Configuration restrictions and guidelines:
1.
A VLAN can serve for only one mirroring group.
When a VLAN is configured as a remote probe VLAN, use the remote probe VLAN for port
mirroring exclusively. Do not configure a VLAN interface for the VLAN or configure any other
features for the VLAN.
When a VLAN is configured as a remote probe VLAN, you must remove the remote probe
VLAN configuration before deleting the VLAN.
