Configuring source ports for a local mirroring group

Either you can configure a list of source ports for a mirroring group in system view, or you can assign only
the current port to the mirroring group as a source port in interface view. To assign multiple ports to the

mirroring group as source ports in interface view, repeat the operation.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

A mirroring group can contain multiple source ports.

On the WX5540E switching engine, one mirroring resource is used for mirroring unidirectional
traffic on a source port and two mirroring resources are used for mirroring bidirectional traffic on a
source port. A source port on the WX5540E switching engine is assigned a maximum of four

mirroring resources. Therefore, a port, when serving as a unidirectional source port, can be added

to up to four mirroring groups. When serving as a bidirectional port can be added to up to two

mirroring groups, and when serving as a bidirectional source port and two unidirectional ports can

be added to up to three mirroring groups.
