Configuring VLAN Mirroring
•
When VLAN mirroring and port mirroring are both enabled, the target port can receive a
mirrored packet twice; once from the source mirror port and again from the source mirrored
VLAN.
•
The target port receives traffic from all monitored source VLANs and can become congested.
Some mirror traffic may therefore be dropped from the target port.
•
When mirroring VLAN traffic or packets based on a source MAC address (see
on page 783), the target port cannot be set to the same target ports as that
used for port mirroring (see
“Configuring Local Port Mirroring”
•
When traffic matches the rules for both port mirroring, and for mirroring of VLAN traffic or
packets based on a MAC address, the matching packets will not be sent to target port
specified for port mirroring.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
•
Source VLAN – A VLAN whose traffic will be monitored. (Range: 1-4093)
•
Target Port – The destination port that receives the mirrored traffic from the source VLAN.
(Range: 1-12)
Interface
To configure VLAN mirroring:
1. Click VLAN, Mirror.
2. Select Add from the Action list.
3. Select the source VLAN, and select a target port.
4. Click Apply.
