Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Create a remote destination group. Command system-view mirroring-group group-id remote-destination Remarks N/A By default, no remote destination group exists on a device. Configuring the monitor port for the remote destination 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. 1. Configuration restrictions and guidelines: { A mirroring group contains only one monitor port. { To make sure that the mirroring function works properly, do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port. { HP recommends you use a monitor port only for port mirroring. 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. 2. Configuration procedure: To configure the monitor port for the remote destination group in system view: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Configure the monitor port. Command system-view mirroring-group group-id monitor-port monitor-port-id Remarks N/A By default, no monitor port is configured for a remote destination group. To configure the monitor port for the remote destination group in interface view: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter interface view. 3. Configure the current port as the monitor port. Command system-view interface interface-type interface-number [ mirroring-group group-id ] monitor-port Remarks N/A N/A By default, a port does not serve as the monitor port for any remote destination group. Configuring the remote probe VLAN for the remote destination group 1. Configuration restrictions and guidelines: { A VLAN can serve for only one mirroring group. { When a VLAN is configured as a remote probe VLAN, use the remote probe VLAN for port mirroring exclusively. Do not configure a VLAN interface for the VLAN or configure any other features for the VLAN. { When a VLAN is configured as a remote probe VLAN, you must remove the remote probe VLAN configuration before deleting the VLAN. 84
