Port Mirroring

80-Series Modules

The following problem has no workaround:

Removing a port mirror causes an interface to stay in the “UP” state with no connections to the interface.

Problem:

If you mirror multiple ports, the switch monitors both transmit and

 

receive traffic regardless of the direction of traffic that you specify.

 

The switch continues to monitor both directions of traffic even if

 

you remove the port mirror with multiple source ports and set up a

 

new port mirror with a single source port.

Workaround:

Reset the switch before setting up a port mirror with a single source

 

port.

Problem:

Version 5.2.2 of the switch software does not support piggyback

 

ports on 80-series modules. If your switch is running a version

 

earlier than 5.2.2 and you set up a port mirror with a piggyback port

 

on an 80-series module and you then download 5.2.2, specify 5.2.2

 

as the startup configuration, and reset the switch, the switch retains

 

the port mirroring information and will reset repeatedly as long as

 

the port mirror exists.

Workaround:

Before downloading and running v5.2.2, remove port mirrors with

 

piggyback ports on 80-series modules.

50-Series

The following problems have no workaround:

Modules

 

 

When you try to mirror a blocked port, the Web Agent

 

displays the port as forwarding, but it is blocked. When you

 

remove the blocked port from being mirrored, you receive

 

panic messages on the console. The problem does not

 

interrupt traffic or cause any other problems in the network.

 

If a standby supervisor module installed in slot 2 has become

 

the Active supervisor (CPU) due to a failover, the web agent

 

shows the supervisor module in slot 1 as available for

 

mirroring during a port mirroring operation. This is incorrect.

 

This problem does not affect traffic running in the network.

 

* Note: The Supervisor module should not be configured

 

for port mirroring even if it displays as available for

 

port mirroring.
