Configuring the monitor port for the local mirroring group
You can configure the monitor port for a mirroring group in system view, or assign the current port to a
mirroring group as the monitor port in interface view. The two methods lead to the same result.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
•
A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.
•
To make sure that the mirroring function works properly, do not assign the monitor port to a source
VLAN, or enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.
•
HP recommends you use a monitor port for port mirroring only. This is to make sure that the data
monitoring device receives and analyzes only the mirrored traffic rather than a mix of mirrored
traffic and normally forwarded traffic.
•
You cannot configure the monitor port in a mirroring group as a port in a RRPP ring.
