Configuring the monitor port for a local mirroring group
On the source device, configure the tunnel interface as the monitor port. On the destination device,
configure the port that connects the data monitoring device as the monitor port.
You can configure the monitor port for a mirroring group in system view, or assign a port to a mirroring
group as the monitor port in interface view. The two modes lead to the same result.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure the monitor port for a local mirroring group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• A mirroring group contains only one monitor port.
• Do not enable the spanning tree feature on the monitor port.
• HP recommends that you use a monitor port only for port mirroring, so the data monitoring device
receives and analyzes only the mirrored traffic.
