By default, a port does not serve as
a source port for any mirroring
group.
Configuring the monitor port for the local mirroring group
CAUTION:
Do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.
Either you can configure the monitor port for a mirroring group in system view, or you can assign the
current port to a mirroring group as the monitor port in interface view. The two methods lead to the same
result.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
• A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.
• HP recommends that you use a monitor port for port mirroring only. This is 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.
