Figure 7-13. Storm Control Table Defining Port Mirroring Sessions Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port or a number of ports (source port or ports) to a monitoring (destination) port. Port mirroring is configured by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and different ports from which the packets copied. Before configuring Port Mirroring, note the following: When a port is set to be a target port for a port-mirroring session, all normal operations on it are suspended. This includes Spanning Tree. Before configuring Port Mirroring, note the following: • Monitored port cannot operate faster than the monitoring port. • All the RX/TX packets should be monitored to the same port. 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. 112 Update with your book title
