Port mirroring
You can designate one of your switch ports to monitor traffic on any two
specified switch ports (port-based) or to monitor traffic to or from any two
specified addresses that the switch has learned (address-based).
The following sections provide sample configurations using the Console
Interface for both monitoring modes available with the port mirroring feature:
• Port-based mirroring
• Address-based mirroring
A sample Port Mirroring Configuration screen accompanies each network
configuration example. Note that the examples do not show all of the screen
prompts that precede some actions.
Note: Use the CI menus, the CLI, or the Web-based management
system to configure port mirroring.
For example, when you configure a switch for port mirroring or when you
modify an existing port mirroring configuration, the new configuration does
not take effect until you respond [Yes] to the following screen prompt:
