2 Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability. portMirror The mirror port location can impact the latency of mirrored frames. Setting up multiple mirror connections on a core-edge platform between devices will mirror additional traffic. If user has two mirror connections, device A to device B and device C to device D. The mirror port will see traffic between A to B and C to D. In addition, the mirror port will see traffic between A to D and C to B. The portPerfShow command outputs the total number of transmit and receive bytes for each port. In the case of a mirror port, the portperfshow will show double the amount of traffic because the mirror port transmits the frame and also receives the frame. Note The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Operands Examples This command has the following operands: slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port on which the mirror port is located, followed by a slash (/). portnumber Specifies the number of the port on which the mirror port is located, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports. This port number will be the mirror port in which the mirror traffic is shown. SourceID Specifies the 3-byte SID (source ID) of the originator device, in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is Domain ID, AA is Area ID and PP is AL_PA ID. For example, 0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2, and AL_PA ID of 0. SourceID and DestID cannot both be 0x000000. DestID Specifies the 3-byte DID (destination ID) of the destination device, in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is Domain ID, AA is Area ID and PP is AL_PA ID. For example, 0x050200 has a domain ID of 5, an area ID of 2 and an AL_PA ID of 0. SourceID and DestID cannot both be 0x000000. To configure a port as a mirror port: switch:admin> portcfg portmirror 2/1 --enable Please confirm enable of Mirror Port: 17 (Y,y,N,n): [n] y To add a port mirror connection between two local switch ports: switch:admin> portmirror --add 2/1 0x011400 0x012400 To add a port mirror connection between a local switch port and a remote switch port: switch:admin> portmirror --add 2/1 0x011400 0x240400 To delete a port mirror connection between two local switch ports: switch:admin> portmirror --delete 0x011400 0x012400 To delete a port mirror connection between a local switch port and a remote switch port: switch:admin> portmirror --delete 0x011400 0x240400 2-504 Fabric OS Command Reference Manual Publication Number: 53-1000240-01
