2 portMirror Notes State The state of the mirror connection. The state can either be "Defined" or "Enabled." In both cases, the port mirroring connection is persistently stored. A connection that is "Defined" has not been hardware-configured because at least one port is not online. A connection that is "Enabled" has been configured in the hardware. A new connection cannot conflict with a "Defined" or "Enabled" port mirror connection. Use the portCfgShow command to display all configured mirror ports on a switch. Use the portPerfShow command to display the total number of transmit and receive bytes for each port. In the case of a mirror port, this command shows twice the amount of traffic, because the mirror port transmits the frame and also receives the frame. The port mirroring feature is not supported on all platforms. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more information. In Fabric OS v6.3.0 and later, the port mirroring feature is supported in Virtual Fabric mode so long as the FC Routing service is not enabled on the logical switch. Use the fosConfig command to disable the FC Routing service. The mirror port location can impact the latency of mirrored frames. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Operands This command has the following operands: --show Displays all configured mirror connections. --add Adds a mirror connection between a source port and a destination port. The slotnumber/ portnumber is the mirrored traffic output port. --delete slotnumber portnumber SourceID DestID Deletes a mirror connection between a source and a destination. For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port on which the mirror port is located, followed by a slash (/). Specifies the number of the port on which the mirror port is located, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports. This port is the mirror port in which the mirror traffic is shown. 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. 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. Examples 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 682 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001337-01
