Port Mirroring
For the IP Application Switch, you can copy traffic from any port or set of
ports to a single, separate port. This is called port mirroring. You should
attach a sniffer device to the target port (called the mirror-to port) for
debugging and/or monitoring.
Setting up a port mirror
Port mirroring consists of specifying a mirror-to port and adding to it one or
more ports (that is, a port list) to be mirrored. You can set up port mirroring
using the Configuration utility or from the command line.
To set up port mirroring using the Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, click Network.
The Network screen opens.
2. Click the Interfaces tab.
3. Click the Port Mirroring subtab.
4. In the Port Mirroring screen, configure the port mirror attributes.
5. Click Done.
To set up port mirroring from the command line
Use this bigpipe syntax for setting up port mirroring:
b mirror <mirror_to_if> interfaces add <if_list>
Example:
b mirror 3.24 interfaces add 3.1 3.3 3.10
Deleting interfaces from a port mirror or deleting a port mirror
You can delete individual interfaces from a port mirror, or you can
completely delete a port mirror.
