The following example sends all traffic coming into or out of the system on slot 8, port 1 and the VLAN
default to the untagged monitor port, which is slot 7, port 3:
enable mirroring to port 7:3 untagged
configure mirroring add port 8:1 vlan default
Verifying the Switch Port-Mirroring Configuration
The screen output resulting from the show mirroring command lists the ports that are involved in
mirroring and which is the monitor port. The display differs slightly depending on the platform.
Displaying Switch Port-Mirroring Configuration on the BlackDiamond 8800 Family
of Switches
Following is sample output from the show lacp command on the BlackDiamond 8810 switch:
Mirror port: 3:15 is up
Number of Mirroring filters: 3
Mirror Port configuration:
Port number 3:12 in all vlans ingress only
Port number 5:4 in all vlans egress only
Port number 8:30 in all vlans
Displaying Switch Port-Mirroring Configuration on the Summit X450 Switch
Following is sample output from the show lacp command on the Summit X450 switch:
Mirror port: 12 is down
Number of Mirroring filters: 1
Mirror Port configuration:
Port number 4 in vlans peggy
Displaying Switch Port-Mirroring Configuration on the BlackDiamond 10K Switch
Following is sample output from the show lacp command on the BlackDiamond 10K switch:
Mirror port: 1:5 is up tagged
Number of Mirroring filters: 1
Mirror Port configuration:
Port number 2:1 in all vlans
Extreme Discovery Protocol
The Extreme Discovery Protocol (EDP) is used to gather information about neighbor Extreme Networks
switches. EDP is used to by the switches to exchange topology information. Information communicated
using EDP includes:
â—Ź Switch MAC address (switch ID)
â—Ź Switch software version information
â—Ź Switch IP address
