Quick Reference To Remote Mirroring Set-Up - HP ProCurve Management And Configuration Manual

Caution
The no form of the command removes vlan < vid-# > mirroring source from the
specified session, but leaves the session available for other assignments.
If session 1 is already configured with a destination, you can execute [no] vlan
< vid > monitor or [no] interface < port > monitor without mirroring criteria and a
mirror session number. In this case, the switch automatically configures or
removes mirroring for inbound and outbound traffic from the specified VLAN
or port(s) to the destination configured for session 1.

Quick Reference to Remote Mirroring Set-Up

These commands configure mirroring where the mirrored traffic source and
destination are on different switches. For each mirroring source switch
option:
The mirror command identifies the destination for the mirroring session.
■
The interface and vlan commands identify the interface type, the traffic to
■
mirror, and the mirroring session to use for the selected traffic
For command syntax details, refer to the pages listed after each heading.
When configuring a remote mirroring session, always configure the destina­
tion switch first. Configuring the source switch first can result in a large
volume of mirrored, IPv4-encapsulated traffic arriving at the destination
without an exit path, which can slow switch performance.
To Enable or Disable a Remote Mirroring Destination on the Switch:
This command is executed on a destination switch and designates the exit
port to use with a mirroring session you will configure on another switch used
as a mirroring source. The data used for this match on the destination switch
includes:
the unique UDP port number you plan use in the mirroring session
■
configuration in the source switch (recommended range: 7933-65535)
■ the source and destination IP addresses you plan to use in the mirroring
session configuration in the source switch
■ the port number of the exit port you want to use on the destination switch
