Configuring Your ELS100-16TX

Perturbed — Trunking is enabled, and a good trunk connection has been established. However, the forwarding of data packets is temporarily suspended to allow for a change in the membership of the Trunk Group.

3.8 ENABLING PORT MIRRORING

The ELS100-16TX allows you to mirror the 10/100BASE-T ports on the ELS100-16TX. The mirroring of network traffic is performed by the ELS100-16TX hardware, and the mirror image reflects only good packets. The ELS100-16TX mirroring function maintains packet ordering of bridging frames between the inbound and outbound interfaces.

Using the LCM or an NMS, you can mirror a port, and select to mirror all packets by a port (if the port is operating in half duplex).

To enable port mirroring on the ELS100-16TX:

1.Connect a network analyzer to the port you want to use as the mirror port on the ELS100-16TX.

2.Using the LCM or NMS, select the mirror port and the port or range of ports you want to mirror. Also select to mirror the received packets (Rx) or transmitted packets (Tx) or both. You must select one of these options or port mirroring will not function.

For example, mirror 2 6 Tx

This will turn on mirroring for packets transmitted on port 2 and mirror them to port 6.

3.9 DISABLING MIRRORING

To turn off mirroring, at the LCM prompt:

1.Type Mirror <PORT> off

For example, mirror 2 off
