Mirroring Configuration ExamplesLocal Mirroring Using Traffic-Direction Criteria

Example of Local Mirroring Configuration. An administrator wants to mirror the inbound traffic from workstation “X” on port A5 and workstation “Y” on port B17 to a traffic analyzer connected to port C24. In this case, the administrator chooses “1” as the session number. (Any unused session number from 1 to 4 is valid.) Since the switch provides both the source and destination for the traffic to monitor, local mirroring can be configured. In this case, the command sequence is:

1.Configure the local mirroring session.

2.Assign a mirroring source to the session.
