Use the MAC Address > Mirror (Add) page to mirror traffic matching a

specified source address from any port on the switch 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 port in a

completely unobtrusive manner.

When mirroring traffic from a MAC address, ingress traffic with the

specified source address entering any port in the switch, other than the

target port, will be mirrored to the destination port.

All mirror sessions must share the same destination port.

Spanning Tree BPDU packets are not mirrored to the target port.

When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the

same VLAN as the source port when using MSTP (see

"Spanning Tree

Algorithm" on page 193

).

When mirroring VLAN traffic (see

"Configuring VLAN Mirroring" on

page 183

) or packets based on a source MAC address, the target port

cannot be set to the same target ports as that used for port mirroring

(see

"Configuring Local Port Mirroring" on page 122

).

When traffic matches the rules for both port mirroring, and for

mirroring of VLAN traffic or packets based on a MAC address, the
