Port Mirroring (Conversation Steering)
You can designate one of your switch ports to monitor traffic on any two specified
switch ports (port-based) or to monitor traffic to or from any two specified
addresses that the switch has learned (address-based).
The following sections provide example configurations for both monitoring
modes available with the port mirroring feature:
• Port-based mirroring
• Address-based mirroring
A sample Port Mirroring Configuration screen accompanies each network
configuration example. Note that the displayed screens do not show all of the
screen prompts that precede some actions.
For example, when you configure a switch for port mirroring or when you modify
an existing port mirroring configuration, the new configuration does not take
effect until you respond [Yes] to the following screen prompt:
Note:
A probe device, such as the Nortel Networks StackProbe
™
or
equivalent, must be connected to the designated monitor port to use this feature
(contact your Nortel Networks sales agent for details about the StackProbe).
Is your port mirroring configuration complete? [ Yes ]
