You can mirror traffic from one or more source VLANs to a target port for real-time
analysis. You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and
study the traffic crossing the source VLAN(s) in a completely unobtrusive manner.
Command Usage
• All active ports in a source VLAN are monitored for ingress traffic only.
• All VLAN mirror sessions must share the same target port.
• When VLAN mirroring and port mirroring are both enabled, they must use the same
target port.
• When VLAN mirroring and port mirroring are both enabled, the target port can
receive a mirrored packet twice; once from the source mirror port and again from
the source mirrored VLAN.
• The target port receives traffic from all monitored source VLANs and can become
congested. Some mirror traffic may therefore be dropped from the target port.
Note:
Spanning Tree BPDU packets are not mirrored to the
target port
.
Command Attributes
