Configuring the monitor port for a remote destination group
To configure the monitor port for a mirroring group, use one of the following methods:
• Configure the monitor port for the mirroring group in system view.
• Assign a port to the mirroring group as the monitor port in interface view.
When you configure the monitor port for a remote destination group, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
• Do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.
• Use a monitor port only for port mirroring, so the data monitoring device receives only the
mirrored traffic.
• A mirroring group must contain only one monitor port.
• A monitor port can belong to only one mirroring group.
