Configuring port mirroring
The Ethernet Switches support port mirroring to analyze traffic. You can
view existing port mirroring activity, and you can configure a specific switch
port to mirror up to two specified ports or two MAC addresses. When you
configure port mirroring, you have the option to specify either port-based
monitoring or address-based monitoring.
In a stack configuration, you can monitor ports that reside on different units
within the stack.
To configure port mirroring:
Step Action
