Command Usage
• You can mirror traffic from any source port or trunk to a destination port for real-time
analysis. You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the destination
port and study the traffic crossing the source port or trunk in a completely
unobtrusive manner.
• Set the destination port by specifying an Ethernet interface with the
configuration command, and then use the port monitor command to specify the
source of the traffic to mirror.
