26 Chapter 1 General System Monitoring Considerations
Note: Trunks cannot be monitored and trunk members cannot be
configured as monitor ports.
Port-based mirroring example
In the configuration example shown in "Port-based mirroring example"
(page 26), the designated monitor port (port 20) can be set to monitor traffic
in any of the following modes:
•
Monitor all traffic received by port X.
•
Monitor all traffic transmitted by port X.
•
Monitor all traffic received and transmitted by port X.
•
Monitor all traffic received by port X or transmitted by port Y.
•
Monitor all traffic received by port X (destined to port Y) and then
transmitted by port Y.
•
Monitor all traffic received/transmitted by port X and transmitted/received
by port Y (conversations between port X and port Y).
•
Monitor all traffic received on many ports.
• Monitor all traffic transmitted on many ports.
•
Monitor all traffic received or transmitted on many ports.
Address-based mirroring configuration
"Address-based mirroring example" (page 27) shows an example of an
address-based mirroring configuration in which port 20, the designated
monitor port for Switch S1, is monitoring traffic occurring between address
A and address B.
