Configuration task list
To configure Layer 2 remote port mirroring, configure remote mirroring groups. When doing that,
configure the remote source group on the source device, and configure the cooperating remote
destination group on the destination device. If an intermediate device exists, configure the intermediate
devices to allow the remote probe VLAN to pass through.
When you configure Layer 2 remote port mirroring, follow these guidelines:
• A port can belong to only one mirroring group. However, on devices that support mirroring groups
with multiple monitor ports, a port can serve as a source port for multiple mirroring groups, but
cannot be an egress port or monitor port at the same time.
• HP recommends not enabling GVRP. If you enable GVRP, GVRP might register the remote probe
VLAN to unexpected ports, resulting in undesired duplicates. For more information about GVRP, see
Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
First, configure the source ports, the egress port, and the remote probe VLAN for the remote source group
on the source device. Then, configure the remote probe VLAN and the monitor port for the remote
destination group on the destination device.
