NOTE:
• A mirroring group contains only one reflector port.
• To ensure that the mirroring function works properly, do not assign the reflector port to a source VLAN.
• The reflector port must be an access port that belongs to the default VLAN.
• The reflector port cannot be a source port in the current mirroring group or a monitor port for traffic
mirroring.
• To ensure that the mirroring function works properly, do not connect a network cable to the reflector port,
and disable these functions on the port: STP, MSTP, RSTP, 802.1X, IGMP Snooping, static ARP, MAC
address learning, QinQ, and port loopback.
Configuring the remote probe VLAN for the remote source mirroring group

• HP recommends you use the remote probe VLAN for port mirroring exclusively.
• To remove the VLAN configured as a remote probe VLAN, you must first remove the remote probe VLAN
with the undo mirroring-group remote-probe vlan command. Removing the probe VLAN can
invalidate the remote source mirroring group.
