Configuring the Monitor Port. This command assigns or removes a mon-
itoring port, and must be executed from the global configuration level. Remov-
ing the monitor port disables port monitoring and resets the monitoring
parameters to their factory-default settings.
Syntax:
[no] mirror-port [< port-num >]
For example, to assign port 12 as the monitoring port:
HP2512(config)# mirror-port 12
To turn off port monitoring:
HP2512(config)# no mirror-port
Selecting or Removing Ports or VLANs As Monitoring Sources.
After
you configure a monitor port you can use either the global configuration level
or the interface context level to select ports or VLANs as monitoring sources.
You can also use either level to remove monitoring sources.
Syntax:
[no] monitor [vlan <vlan-id> | interface ethernet <port-list>]
For example, with a monitoring (mirror) port configured (above), you could
select ports 1 and 2 for monitoring:
