ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
355
enable mirroring to port
enable mirroring to port [<port>] [tagged | untagged]
Description
Dedicates a port on the switch to be the mirror output port, or the monitor port.
Syntax Description
Default
Disabled.
Usage Guidelines
Port mirroring configures the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports to a monitor
port on the switch. The monitor port can be connected to a network analyzer or RMON probe for
packet analysis. The switch uses a traffic filter that copies a group of traffic to the monitor port.
Up to 16 mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured on the switch. After a port has been
specified as a monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function. Frames that contain errors are not
mirrored.
You cannot run ELSM and mirroring on the same port. If you attempt to enable mirroring on a port that
is already enabled for ELSM, the switch returns a message similar to the following:
Error: Port mirroring cannot enabled on an ELSM enabled port 1.
Summit X450 family of switches only.
The traffic filter on the Summit X450 family of switches can be
defined based on one of the following criteria:
●
Physical port—All data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration, is copied to the
monitor port. You can specify which traffic the port mirrors:
■
Ingress—Mirrors traffic received at the port.
■
Egress—Mirrors traffic sent from the port.
■
Ingress and egress—Mirrors all traffic forwarded by the port.
(If you omit the optional parameters, all traffic is forwarded; the default for port-based mirroring
is ingress and egress).
