Mirroring
Port mirroring selects the network traffic for analysis by a network analyzer. This is
done for specific ports of the switch. As such, many switch ports are configured as
source ports and one switch port is configured as a destination port. You have the
ability to configure how traffic is mirrored on a source port. Packets that are received
on the source port, that are transmitted on a port, or are both received and transmit-
ted, can be mirrored to the destination port.
The packet that is copied to the destination port is in the same format as the original
packet on the wire. This means that if the mirror is copying a received packet, the
copied packet is VLAN tagged or untagged as it was received on the source port. If
the mirror is copying a transmitted packet, the copied packet is VLAN tagged or
untagged as it is being transmitted on the source port.
Use the Multiple Port Mirroring page to define port mirroring sessions.

The following table describes the items in the previous figure.
Item
Description
Session ID
The port mirroring session ID. The number of sessions allowed is plat-
form specific.
Mode
The administrative mode for the selected port mirroring session. If the
mode is disabled, the configured source is not mirroring traffic to the
destination.
Destination
The interface that receives traffic from all configured source ports.
After you click
button, the Destination Configuration window
opens. The following information describes the additional fields avail-
able in this window.
Type: The type of interface to use as the destination, which is
one of the following:
–
None: The destination is not configured.
–
Remote VLAN: Traffic is mirrored to the VLAN on the system
that is configured as the RSPAN VLAN. In an RSPAN config-
uration, the destination should be the Remote VLAN on any
device that does not have a port connected to the network
traffic analyzer.
–
Interface: Traffic is mirrored to a physical port on the local
device. The interface is the probe port that is connected to a
network traffic analyzer.
Remote VLAN: The VLAN that is configured as the RSPAN
VLAN.
Port: The port to which traffic is mirrored. If the Type is Remote
VLAN, the selected port is a reflector port. The reflector port is a
trunk port that carries the mirrored traffic towards the destination
device. If the Type is Interface, the selected port is the probe
port that is connected to a network traffic analyzer.
