Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation

Interface Monitoring Features

Selecting or Removing Monitoring Source Interfaces. After you con­ figure a monitor port you can use either the global configuration level or the interface context level to select ports or static trunks as monitoring sources. You can also use either level to remove monitoring sources.

Syntax: [no] interface < monitor-list> monitor

where:

<monitor-list> Includes port numbers and static trunk names such as a4,c7, b5-b8, trk1.

Identifies the switch elements to monitor through the currently configured monitor port. You can monitor the port(s) and static trunk(s) available on the switch.

Elements in the monitor list can include port numbers and static trunk names at the same time.

For example, with a port such as port A6 configured as the monitoring (mirror) port, you would use either of the following commands to select these inter­ faces for monitoring:

A1 through A3, and A5

Trunk 2

ProCurve(config)# int a1-a3, a5, trk2, monitor

These two commands show how to disable monitoring at the interface context level for a single port or all ports in an interface context level.

These two commands show how to disable monitoring at the global config level for a single port or a group of ports.
