HP recommends that you configure the destination device first, then the intermediate devices, and then
the source device.

By default, no remote destination
group exists on a device.
Configuring the monitor port for a remote destination group
You can configure the monitor port for a mirroring group in system view, or assign a port to a mirroring
group as the monitor port in interface view. The two modes have the same results.
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.
• When a Layer 2 aggregate interface is configured as the monitor port, do not configure its member
ports as source ports.
• Use a monitor port only for port mirroring to make sure the data monitoring device receives and
analyzes only the mirrored traffic rather than a mix of mirrored traffic and correctly forwarded
traffic.
• A mirroring group must contain only one monitor port.
