Traffic Mirroring
Mirroring Configuration Examples
Local Mirroring Using Traffic-Direction Criteria
Example of Local Mirroring Configuration. An administrator wants to
mirror the inbound traffic from workstation “X” on port A5 and workstation
“Y” on port B17 to a traffic analyzer connected to port C24. In this case, the
administrator chooses “1” as the session number. (Any unused session number
from 1 to 4 is valid.) Since the switch provides both the source and destination
for the traffic to monitor, local mirroring can be configured. In this case, the
command sequence is:
1. Configure the local mirroring session.
2. Assign a mirroring source to the session.
Configures port C24 as the mirroring
destination (exit port) for session 1.
ProCurve(config)# mirror eth-port
Caution: Please configure destination switch first.
Do you want to continue [y/n]? y
ProCurve(config)# interface a5,b17 monitor all in mirror 1
Reminder to configure mirroring Mirrors all inbound and outbound traffic on ports A5
destination before configuring and B17 to the mirroring destination configured for
source. session 1.
