Chapter 1 Port Mirroring Configuration
1-6
Note:
z
All the ports of a remote source mirroring group belong to a single device. A remote
source mirroring group can contain only one reflector mirroring port.
z
A reflector port cannot be a member port of the current mirroring group, an
aggregation port and cannot be configured with the QinQ function. It is required to
be an access port and belong to the default VLAN.
z
It is not recommended to add the source ports to a remote VLAN, which can be used
for remote mirroring only.
z
It is not recommended to connect network cable to the reflector port and to configure
the following functions on this port: STP, RSTP, MSTP, 802.1x, IGMP Snooping,
static ARP and MAC address learning, otherwise, the mirroring function may be
affected.
z
A port can be configured as a reflector port only when it operates with the following
settings being the defaults: operation mode (half duplex/full duplex), port speed,
MDI setting. Conversely, these settings cannot be modified once a port is
configured as a reflector port.
z
Only existing static VLANs can be configured as remote port mirroring VLANs. To
remove a VLAN operating as a remote port mirroring VLAN, you need to restore it to
a normal VLAN first. A remote port mirroring group gets invalid if the corresponding
remote port mirroring VLAN is removed.
z
A port can belong to only one port mirroring group. A VLAN can be the remote port
mirroring VLAN of only one port mirroring group.
