ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Web-based Interface Reference Guide

Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Web-based Interface
IMPORTANT: You cannot mirror a fast port onto a slower port. For example, if you try to mirror the
traffic from a 1000-Mb/s port onto a 100-Mb/s port, you can cause throughput problems. The port from
which you are copying frames must support an equal or lower speed than the port to which you are
sending the copies. Also, the target port cannot be a member of a trunk group.
To configure port mirroring:
1. Select Port Mirroring from the Configuration menu. The following screen is displayed.
2. Select the Source Port from which you want to copy frames.
3. Select the Source Direction: Ingress, Egress, or Either.
4. Select the Target Port that receives the copies from the source port. This is the port
where you would connect a monitoring or troubleshooting device, such as a sniffer or an
RMON probe.
5. Select Enabled in the Status field.
6. Click Apply.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving
Changes,” earlier in this chapter.
