Use the
down arrow key to move the cursor to the Action column for the individual port interfaces
and position the cursor at a port, trunk, or mesh you want to mirror.
Press the Space bar to select Monitor for the ports,
trunks, mesh, or any combination of these that you want mirrored.
Use the down arrow key to move from one interface
to the next in the Action column. (If the mesh
or any trunks are configured, they appear at the end of the port listing.)
When you
finish selecting interfaces to mirror, press [Enter], then press [S] (for Save) to save your changes and exit from the
screen.
Return to the Main Menu.
You can also use the CLI to configure a mirroring
session for a destination device connected to an exit port on either:
The same switch as the
source interface (local mirroring.)
A different switch (remote
mirroring.) The remote switch must be an switch offering the full
mirroring capabilities described in this chapter.
After you configure a mirroring session with
traffic-selection criteria and a destination, the switch immediately
starts to mirror traffic to each destination device connected to an
exit port.
In a remote mirroring session that uses IPv4
encapsulation, if the exit switch is not already configured as the
destination for the session, its performance may be adversely affected
by the stream of mirrored traffic.
For this reason, Switch strongly recommends that
you configure the exit switch for a remote mirroring session before
configuring the source switch for the same session.
