Interface Monitoring Features
Selecting or Removing Monitoring Source Interfaces. After you con-
figure a monitor port you can use either the global configuration level or the
interface context level to select ports or static trunks as monitoring sources.
You can also use either level to remove monitoring sources.
Syntax: [no] interface < monitor-list > monitor
where:
< monitor-list > Includes port numbers and static trunk names
such as a4,c7, b5-b8, trk1.
Identifies the switch elements to monitor through the currently
configured monitor port. You can monitor the port(s) and static
trunk(s) available on the switch.
Elements in the monitor list can include port numbers and static trunk names
at the same time.
For example, with a port such as port A6 configured as the monitoring (mirror)
port, you would use either of the following commands to select these inter-
faces for monitoring:
• A1 through A3, and A5
• Trunk 2
ProCurve(config)# int a1-a3, a5, trk2, monitor
Figure B-21. Examples of Selecting Ports and Static Trunks as Monitoring Sources
These two commands
show how to disable
monitoring at the interface
context level for a single
port or all ports in an
interface context level.
These two commands show how to disable monitoring at
the global config level for a single port or a group of ports.
