Setting Up Port Mirroring on a Switch in Fabric Mode 2
Fabric mode 2 port mirroring provides the ability for 80-series
modules to monitor traffic that a port transmits and receives. Four
channels are provided for monitoring traffic, so you can monitor
four different ports or port ranges simultaneously. You can set up
Fabric mode 2 port mirrors by using either the Web Agent or the
CLI. The switch must be in Fabric mode 2 to perform Fabric mode 2
port mirroring.
Restrictions
* Note: When using Fabric mode 2 port mirroring, you cannot
mirror transmit traffic of multiple source ports to one
mirror port.
* Note: When you use Fabric mode 2 port mirroring, both the
source port and mirror port must either:
— Be on the same VLAN and have the same VLAN binding
or
— Have VLAN binding set to bind to all
Sampler
Type* Selects how often you want the mirror port to receive
traffic samples:
• Always - sends all samples.
• Periodic - sends samples at the interval described
below.
• Disabled - shuts off traffic samples to the mirror
port, but keeps the association intact.
Max Packets
per Second Displays the number of packets per second that are
served by the mirror port.
* Sampling only applies to inbound traffic.
