You must ensure that the source device and the destination device can communicate at Layer 2 in the
remote probe VLAN.
z
Destination device
The destination device is the device where the monitor port is located. On it, you must create the
remote destination mirroring group.
When receiving a packet, the destination device compares the VLAN ID carried in the packet with the
ID of the probe VLAN configured in the remote destination mirroring group. If they are the same, the
device forwards the packet to the monitoring device through the monitor port.
To make the port mirroring function work properly, before configuring bidirectional traffic mirroring on a
port in a mirroring group, you need to use the
mac-address mac-learning disable
command on the
source device, intermediate devices, and destination device to disable the MAC address learning
function for the remote port mirroring VLAN. For more information about the
mac-address
mac-learning disable
command,
refer to
MAC Address Table Management Commands
in the
System Volume
.
Configuring Local Port Mirroring
Configuring local port mirroring is to configure local mirroring groups.
A local mirroring group comprises one or multiple mirroring ports and one monitor port. These ports
must not have been assigned to any other mirroring group.
Follow these steps to configure a local mirroring group:

You can configure
mirroring ports in a
mirroring group.
In system view, you can
configure a list of
mirroring ports to the
mirroring group at a time.
In interface view, you can
assign only the current
port to the mirroring
group. To monitor
multiple ports, repeat the
step.
