Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation
Traffic Mirroring
Destination mirroring session entries begin with mirror endpoint. In the follow-
ing example, two sessions are using the same exit port:
ProCurve(config)# show run
Running configuration:
; J9091A Configuration Editor; Created on release #K.12.XX
module 3 type J8694A
. . .
mirror endpoint ip 10.10.20.1 8010 10.10.30.2 port 4
mirror endpoint ip 10.10.51.10 7955 10.10.30.2 port 4
Configured Destination Mirroring Sessions

Mirroring Configuration Examples
Local Mirroring Destination
Example of Local Mirroring Configuration. A system operator wants to
mirror the inbound traffic from workstation “X” on port A5 and workstation
“Y” on port B17 to a traffic analyzer connected to port C24. In this case, the
operator chooses “1” as the session number. (Any unused session number
from 1 to 4 is valid.) Since the switch provides both the source and destination
for the traffic to monitor, local mirroring can be configured. In this case, the
command sequence is:
1. Configure the local mirroring session.
2. Assign a mirroring source to the session.
