Supported port mirroring and monitoring features
Lists port mirroring and monitoring features supported on FastIron devices.
The following table lists the individual Brocade FastIron switches and the mirroring features they
support. These features are supported in the Layer 2 and Layer 3 software images, except where
explicitly noted.
Feature ICX 6430 ICX 6450 FCX ICX 6610 ICX 6650 FSX 800
FSX 1600 ICX 7750

individual ports) 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.10
ACL-based mirroring of denied traffic 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 3 08.0.10
ACL-based mirroring of permitted traffic 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.10
MAC address filter-based mirroring 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 No 08.0.10
VLAN-based mirroring 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 08.0.01 3 08.0.10
NOTE
FCX and ICX devices support only ingress VLAN-based mirroring. FSX devices support both ingress
and egress VLAN-based mirroring.
The procedures in this chapter describe how to configure port mirroring on Brocade devices.
Port mirroring and monitoring overview
Port mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming or
outgoing packet from one port on a network switch to another port where the packet can be analyzed.
