HP 9304m - Monitoring an Individual Trunk Port

Installation and Getting Started Guide
4 - 50
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
Suppose you want to diagnose the in and out on traffic on port 3 on a module in slot 4 of an HP 9304M, HP
9308M, or HP 9315M using port 1 in slot 4. To do so:
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Select the Advance
link to display the advanced system configuration panel.
3. Select the slot (if applicable) and port from the corresponding pulldown menus next to Mirror Slot. In this
example, select slot 4 and port 1.
4. Click Apply to save the changes to the device’s running-config file.
5. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
6. Select the Port
link to display the Port table.
7. Click the Modify button next to the port you want to monitor. In this example, select port 3 on the module in
slot 4 (4/3).
8. Select the traffic direction you want to monitor. For this example, select the In & Out.
9. Click Apply to save the changes to the device’s running-config file.
10. Select the Save
link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device’s flash memory.
Monitoring an Individual Trunk Port
By default, when you monitor the primary port in a trunk group, aggregated traffic for all the ports in the trunk
group is copied to the mirror port. You can configure the device to monitor individual ports in a trunk group. You
can monitor the primary port or a secondary port individually.
NOTE: In the current release, you can use only one mirror port for each monitored trunk port.
To monitor traffic on one of the secondary ports in a trunk group, enter commands such as the following:
HP9300(config)# mirror ethernet 2/1
HP9300(config)# trunk switch ethernet 4/1 to 4/8
HP9300(config-trunk-4/1-4/8)# monitor ethe-port-monitored 4/5 ethernet 2/1 in
The monitor ethe-port-monitored command in this example enables monitoring of the inbound traffic on port
4/5.
Syntax: [no] monitor ethe-port-monitored <portnum> | named-port-monitored <portname>
ethernet <portnum> in | out | both
The ethe-port-monitored <portnum> | named-port-monitored <portname> parameter specifies the trunk port
you want to monitor. Use ethe-port-monitored <portnum> to specify a port number. Use named-port-
monitored <portname> to specify a trunk port name.
The ethernet <portnum> parameter specifies the port to which the traffic analyzer is attached.
The in | out | both parameter specifies the traffic direction to be monitored.
To monitor traffic on the primary port without including traffic on the other ports, use the config-primary-ind
command. Here is an example:
HP9300(config)# mirror ethernet 2/1
HP9300(config)# trunk switch ethernet 4/1 to 4/8
HP9300(config-trunk-4/1-4/8)# config-primary-ind
HP9300(config-trunk-4/1-4/8)# monitor ethe-port-monitored 4/1 ethernet 2/1 out
Syntax: [no] config-primary-ind
