Configuring VLAN Mirroring

You can mirror traffic from one or more source VLANs to a target port for real-time
analysis. You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and
study the traffic crossing the source VLAN(s) in a completely unobtrusive manner.

Command Usage
• All active ports in a source VLAN are monitored for ingress traffic only.
• All VLAN mirror sessions must share the same target port.
• When VLAN mirroring and port mirroring are both enabled, they must use the same

target port.

• When VLAN mirroring and port mirroring are both enabled, the target port can

receive a mirrored packet twice; once from the source mirror port and again from
the source mirrored VLAN.

• The target port receives traffic from all monitored source VLANs and can become

congested. Some mirror traffic may therefore be dropped from the target port.

Note:

Spanning Tree BPDU packets are not mirrored to the

target port

.

Command Attributes
Mirror Sessions – Displays a list of current mirror sessions.
Source VLAN – A VLAN whose traffic will be monitored. (Range: 1-4094)
Target Port – The destination port that receives the mirrored traffic from the source

Web – Click VLAN, VLAN Mirror Configuration. Select the source VLAN, select a
target port that is not a member of the source VLAN, and click Apply.
