Port Mirroring

Quick Steps for Configuring Port Mirroring

1 Create a port mirroring session. Be sure to specify the port mirroring session ID, source (mirrored) and
destination (mirroring) slot/ports, and unblocked VLAN ID (optional—protects the mirroring session
from changes in Spanning Tree if the mirroring port will monitor mirrored traffic on an RMON probe
belonging to a different VLAN). For example:
-> port mirroring 6 source 2/3 destination 2/4 unblocked 7
2 Enable the port mirroring session.
-> port mirroring 6 enable
Note. Optional. To verify the port mirroring configuration, enter
the port mirroring session ID number. The display is similar to the one shown below:
Session Mirrored
