2.16.2 Port Monitoring commands - Configuration level

[no] mirror-port [<port-num>]

This command defines the switch port that will be used as the Monitoring Port for

diagnostic purposes. The switch ports that will be monitored are defined through the

monitor command at the Ethernet Interface Configuration Level. All the network

traffic seen by the monitored ports is copied to the Monitoring Port to which a

network analyzer can be attached.

Note: When monitoring multiple ports in a busy network, some frames may not be

copied to the monitoring port.

Parameters:

 port-num - Port that will be acting as the monitoring port. A configured trunk port

cannot be used.
