Configuring Local Port Mirroring
Configuration prerequisites
z
The source port is determined and the direction in which the packets are to be mirrored is
determined.
z
The destination port is determined.
Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to configure port mirroring on Switch 4500 series:

Use either approach
You can configure multiple
source ports at a time in system
view, or you can configure the
source port in specific port view.
The configurations in the two
views have the same effect.

When configuring local port mirroring, note that:
z
You need to configure the source and destination ports for the local port mirroring to take effect.
z
The source port and the destination port cannot be a fabric port or a member port of an existing
mirroring group; besides, the destination port cannot be a member port of an aggregation group or
a port enabled with LACP or STP.
Configuring Remote Port Mirroring
A Switch 4500 can serve as a source switch, an intermediate switch, or a destination switch in a remote
port mirroring networking environment.
