Mirroring configuration examples

Example 109 Local mirroring using traffic-direction criteria

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 (see Figure 184 (page 360).) In this

case, the administrator chooses "1" as the session number. (Any unused session number from 1

to 4 is valid.) Because the switch provides both the source and destination for the traffic to monitor,

local mirroring can be used. In this case, the command sequence is:

• Configure the local mirroring session, including the exit port.

• Configure the monitored source interfaces for the session.
