Configuring Local Port Mirroring 897
Destination device contains destination mirroring port, and remote destination
port mirroring groups are created on destination devices. Upon receiving a
mirrored packet, the destination device checks to see if the VLAN ID of the
received packet is the same as that of the remote mirroring VLAN of the remote
destination port mirroring group. If yes, the destination device forwards the packet
to the monitoring device through the destination mirroring port.

In addition, in a port mirroring group, a destination port can monitor multiple
source ports simultaneously in the mirroring group.
Configuring Local Port
Mirroring
Follow these steps to configure local port mirroring:
n
■ A local mirroring group is effective only when it has both source ports and the
destination port configured.
■ It is not recommended to enable STP, RSTP or MSTP on the destination port;
otherwise, the mirroring function may be affected.
■ Do not use the destination mirroring port for any purpose other than port
mirroring.
■ The source ports and the destination port cannot be the member ports of the
current mirroring group.
■ Before adding the destination port for a port mirroring group, make sure the
port mirroring group exists. A mirroring group can have only one destination
port.
