33.3.9 Configuring Port Mirroring
Port mirroring duplicates data on the monitored port to the designated monitoring port,
for purpose of data analysis and supervision. The switch supports multiple-to-one
mirroring, that is, you can duplicate packets from multiple ports to a monitoring port.
You can also specify the monitoring direction:
z Only inbound packets
z Only outbound packets
Perform the following configurations in system view.
Table 33-14 Configure port mirroring
Operation Command
Configure port mirroring mirroring-group groupId { inbound |
outbound } mirroring-port-list &<1-8>
mirrored-to monitor-port
Remove port mirroring setting undo mirroring-group groupId
You can implement port mirroring configuration by setting mirroring groups at the port.
Up to 20 mirroring groups can be configured at a port, with each group including one
monitoring port and multiple monitored ports.
Note:
The Switch 8800 supports cross-board mirroring, that is, the monitoring and monitored
ports can be at different boards.
Consider these issues when configuring port mirroring:
z For intra-board mirroring, only one monitoring port can be configured for the
mirroring groups in the same direction. For example, if one mirroring group, with
port A as its monitoring port, has been configured on a board to monitor those
received packets, you need to choose port A as its monitoring port when
configuring a second mirroring group to monitor those received packets. The
same restriction applies to the mirroring group to monitor those packets sent.
z For cross-board mirroring, only one monitoring port (which is on another board)
can be configured for the mirroring groups in the same direction. For example, a
mirroring group is configured on board 1, with port B on board 2 as its monitoring
