config mirror port add

Purpose

Used to configure a mirror port source port pair on the Switch.

Syntax

config mirror port <port> add source ports <portlist> [rx tx

 

both]

Description

This command allows a range of ports to have all of their traffic

 

also sent to a designated port, where a network sniffer or other

 

device can monitor the network traffic. In addition, you can specify

 

that only traffic received by or sent by one or both is mirrored to

 

the Target port.

Parameters

port <port> This specifies the Target port (the port where

 

mirrored packets will be sent). The port is specified by listing the

 

lowest slot number and the beginning port number on that slot,

 

separated by a colon. For example, 1:3 specifies slot number 1,

 

port 3. 2:4 specifies slot number 2, port 4.

 

add source ports – The port or ports being mirrored. This cannot

 

include the Target port.

 

<portlist> Specifies a range of ports to be mirrored. The

 

port list is specified by listing the lowest slot number and the

 

beginning port number on that slot, separated by a colon.

 

Then the highest slot number, and the highest port number

 

of the range (also separated by a colon) are specified. The

 

beginning and end of the port list range are separated by a

 

dash. For example, 1:3 specifies slot number 1, port 3. 2:4

 

specifies slot number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies all of the

 

ports between slot 1, port 3 and slot 2, port 4 in numerical

 

order.

 

rx Allows the mirroring of only packets received by (flowing into)

 

the port or ports in the port list.

 

tx Allows the mirroring of only packets sent to (flowing out of)

 

the port or ports in the port list.

 

both Mirrors all the packets received or sent by the port or ports

 

in the port list.

Restrictions

The Target port cannot be listed as a source port. Only

 

administrator-level users can issue this command.
