How would you enable port mirroring for a HP Procurve 5406ZL?
The configuration guide is not very clear in the mirror-port function. I know that I'll need to use the mirror-port [[ethernet] PORT-NUM] but it don't know (or how) should I go specifying the target port to be mirrored?
You set the target to be monitored using the monitor command page 385 in your book.
Usage: [no] monitor mac MAC-ADDR mirror <1-4 | NAME-STR>
Description: Set up traffic monitoring for a given MAC address. Network traffic with this MAC address as the source or destination is copied to the mirror port.
Parameters: MAC-ADDR - MAC address to be monitored
- Type of traffic to monitor: src - Monitor traffic with MAC-ADDR as the source. dst - Monitor traffic with MAC-ADDR as the destination. both - Monitor traffic with MAC-ADDR as the source or destination.
<1-4> - Mirror destination number
NAME-STR - Friendly name associated with the mirror destionation number.
