Defining Port Mirroring Sessions
Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing
packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or
debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and
different ports from which the packets copied. Before configuring port mirroring, note the
following:
• Monitored ports cannot operate faster than the monitoring port.
• Maximum number of source ports is eight.
• Only one mirroring session can be configured at a time.
The following restrictions apply to ports configured to be destination ports:
• Ports cannot be configured as a source port.
• Ports cannot be a LAG member.
• IP interfaces are not configured on the port.
• GVRP is not enabled on the port.
• The port is not a VLAN member.
• Only one destination port can be defined.
The following restrictions apply to ports configured to be source ports:
• Source Ports
cannot be a LAG member.
• Ports cannot be configured as a destination port.
• All packets are transmitted tagged from the destination port.
��� All the TX packets should be monitored to the same port.
