Example usage:
To add the mirroring ports:
Parameters
<port> {[add |delete] source ports <portlist> [rx|tx|both]}
Used to configure a mirror port − source port pair on the Switch.
Traffic from any source port to a target port can be mirrored for real-
time analysis. A logic analyzer or an RMON probe can then be
attached to study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely
obtrusive manner.
config mirror port <port> {[add |delete] source ports <portlist>
[rx|tx|both]}
This command allows a range of ports to have all of their traffic also
sent to a designated port, where a network sniffer or other device
can monitor the network traffic. In addition, users can specify that
only traffic received by or sent by one or both is mirrored to the
Target port.
<port> − This specifies the Target port (the port where mirrored
packets will be received). The target port must be configured in the
same VLAN and must be operating at the same speed as the
source port. If the target port is operating at a lower speed, the
source port will be forced to drop its operating speed to match that
of the target port.
[add | delete] – Specify to add or delete ports to be mirrored that are
specified in the source ports parameter.
source ports – The port or ports being mirrored. This cannot include
the Target port.
• <portlist> − This specifies a port or range of ports that will
be mirrored. That is, the range of ports in which all traffic
will be copied and sent to the Target port. The beginning
and end of the port list range are separated by a dash.
rx − Allows the mirroring of only packets received by (flowing into)
the port or ports in the port list.
tx − Allows the mirroring of only packets sent to (flowing out of) the
port or ports in the port list.
both − Mirrors all the packets received or sent by the port or ports in
the port list.
The Target port cannot be listed as a source port. Only
administrator-level and operator-level users can issue this
command.
