User Guidelines
This command enables port copy between Source Port (src-interface) to a
Destination Port (The port in context).
The analyzer port for port ingress traffic mirroring should be the same port for
all mirrored ports.
The analyzer port for port egress traffic mirroring should be the same port for
all mirrored ports.
Following are restrictions apply for ports that are configured to be source
ports:
• The port cannot be a destination port.
The following restrictions apply to ports that are configured to be monitor
ports:
• The port can’t be source port.
• The port isn’t member in port-channel.
• IP interface is not configured on the port.
• GVRP is not enabled on the port.
• The port is not a member in any VLAN, except for the default VLAN (will
be automatically removed from the default VLAN).
• L2 protocols are not active on the copy dest. Port: LLDP, LBD, STP, LACP.
The following restrictions apply to ports that are configured to be monitor
ports:
• The port cannot be source port.
• The port is not a member in port-channel.
Notes:
1.
In this mode some traffic duplication on the analyzer port may be observed.
For example:
•
Port 2 is being egress monitored by port 4.
•
Port 2 & 4 are members in VLAN 3.
•
Unknown Unicast packet sent to VLAN 3 will egress from port 4 twice,
one instance as normal forward and another instance as mirrored from
port 2.
