IRRORING
Use the MAC Address > Mirror (Add) page to mirror traffic matching a
specified source address from any port on the switch 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 port in a
completely unobtrusive manner.

•
When mirroring traffic from a MAC address, ingress traffic with the
specified source address entering any port in the switch, other than the
target port, will be mirrored to the destination port.
•
All mirror sessions must share the same destination port.
•
Spanning Tree BPDU packets are not mirrored to the target port.
•
When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the
same VLAN as the source port when using MSTP (see “Spanning Tree
Algorithm” on page 249 ).
