Port mirroring
3
The configuration database keeps information about the number of port mirror connections
configured on a switch, the number of chunks of port mirroring data that are stored, and the chunk
number. When removing a mirror connection, always use this method to ensure that the data is
cleared. Deleting a connection removes the information from the database.
Deleting a port mirror connection
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the portMirror
--
del SourceID DestID command.
For example, to delete the port mirror connection on mirror port 2, you might type:
switch:admin> portMirror --del 0x011400 0x240400
Displaying port mirror connections
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the portMirror
--
show command.
You should see output similar to the following:
switch:admin> portmirror --show
Number of mirror connection(s) configured: 4
