Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Delete the mirrored port GigabitEthernet 0/0/1.
2. Set GigabitEthernet 0/0/5 instead of GigabitEthernet 0/0/24 as the observing port.
3. Reset GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 as a mirrored port.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l Type and number of the new observing port, that is, GigabitEthernet 0/0/5
Configuration Procedure
