Configuring a Remote
Destination Port
Mirroring Group
Follow these steps to configure a remote destination port mirroring group:
n
■ The remote destination mirroring port cannot be a member port of the current 
mirroring group.
■ The remote destination mirroring port can be an access, trunk, or hybrid port. 
It must be assigned to the remote mirroring VLAN.
■ Do not enable STP, RSTP or MSTP on the remote destination mirroring port. 
Otherwise, the mirroring function may be affected.
■ Do not use the remote destination mirroring port for any purpose other than 
port mirroring.
■ Only existing static VLANs can be configured as remote port mirroring VLANs. 
To remove a VLAN operating as a remote port mirroring VLAN, you need to 
restore it to a normal VLAN first. A remote port mirroring group gets invalid if 
the corresponding remote port mirroring VLAN is removed.
■ Use a remote port mirroring VLAN for remote port mirroring only.
■ A port can belong to only one port mirroring group. A VLAN can be the remote 
port mirroring VLAN of only one port mirroring group.
