z
The port must not be a mirroring port in the mirroring group or a monitor port for traffic mirroring.
z
The port must be an access port that belongs to the default VLAN.
z
Do not configure port loopback on the port.
z
You can configure a port as a reflector port only when the port is operating with the default duplex
mode, port rate, and MDI setting. In addition, you cannot change these settings after the port is
configured as a reflector port.
z
To ensure operation of the device, do not connect a network cable to the port, and disable these
functions on the port: STP, MSTP, RSTP, IGMP Snooping, static ARP, and MAC address learning.
z
For a remote source mirroring group, you can configure multiple mirroring ports; however, you can
configure only one reflector port.
z
To remove the VLAN configured as a remote probe VLAN, you must remove the remote probe
VLAN with
undo mirroring-group remote-probe vlan
command first. Removing the probe VLAN
can invalidate the remote source mirroring group.
z
You are recommended to use a remote probe VLAN exclusively for the mirroring purpose.
z
A port can belong to only one mirroring group.
Configuring a Remote Destination Mirroring Group (on the Destination Device)
A remote destination mirroring group comprises a remote probe VLAN and a monitor port. You must
ensure that the remote probe VLAN is the same as the one configured in the remote source mirroring
group.
Follow these steps to configure a remote destination port mirroring group:
