Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation Traffic Mirroring ■ All traffic: Monitors all traffic entering or leaving the switch on one or more interfaces (inbound and outbound). Mirroring Terminology Figure B-18 shows an example of the terms used to describe the configuration of a sample local mirroring session: ■ In the local session, inbound traffic entering Switch A is monitored on port C2 and mirrored to a destination (host), traffic analyzer 1, through exit port A15 on the switch. A local mirroring session means that the monitored interface (C2) and exit port (A15) are on the same switch. Switch A C1 VLAN 20 C2 A15 Traffic Analyzer 1 Local mirroring session: Source Switch: Switch A Monitored interface: Port C2 Exit port: A15 Destination/Host: Traffic analyzer 1 Network Figure B-18. Local Session Showing Mirroring Terms Exit Port: The port to which a traffic analyzer or IDS is connected to receive mirrored traffic: - For local mirroring, an exit port can be any port to which a traffic analyzer or IDS is connected and that is not configured as a monitored interface. Up to four sessions can be assigned to the same exit port used for local mirroring. An exit port is configured on the local switch with the command: mirror eth-port < exit-port > B-24
