z
A local mirroring group takes effect only after you configure a monitor port and mirroring ports for it.
z
To ensure the smooth operation of your device, do not enable STP, MSTP, or RSTP on the
monitor port.
z

Network requirements
On a network shown in
z
Department 1 is connected to port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Device C through Device A.
z
Department 2 is connected to port GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 of Device C through Device B.
z
The Server is connected to port GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 of Device C.
To monitor the bidirectional traffic of Department 1 and Department 2 on the Server, configure a local
mirroring group on Device C following this scheme:
z
Configure port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 as mirroring ports.
z
Configure port GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 as the monitor port.
