Configuring the monitor port for the local mirroring group
You can configure the monitor port for a mirroring group in system view, or assign the current port to a
mirroring group as the monitor port in interface view. The two modes lead to the same result.

[ mirroring-group group-id ]
monitor-port
Required.
By default, a port does not serve
as the monitor port for any
mirroring group.
NOTE:
• A mirroring group only contains one monitor port.
• To make sure that the port mirroring function works properly, do not enable STP, MSTP, or RSTP on
the monitor port.
• HP recommends you only use a monitor port for port mirroring to make sure that the data monitorin
device only receives and analyzes the mirrored traffic rather than a mix of mirrored traffic and
normally forwarded traffic.
• A port connected to an RRPP ring cannot be configured as the monitor port of a port mirroring
group.
