From the global
config level, selects
ports and trunks for
monitoring sources.
Figure B-21. Examples of Selecting Ports and Static Trunks as Monitoring Sources
Selecting or Removing Monitoring Source Interfaces. After you con-
figure a monitor port you can use either the global configuration level or the
interface context level to select ports, static trunks, meshed ports, or (for the
5300xl switches only) VLANs as monitoring sources. You can also use either
level to remove monitoring sources.
Syntax: [no] interface < monitor-list > monitor
[no] vlan < vid > monitor
where:
< monitor-list > Includes port numbers, static trunk names, and
< vid >
Identifies the switch elements to monitor through the currently
configured monitor port. You can monitor the port(s), static
trunk(s), and any switch mesh available on the switch or, on a
5300xl, one VLAN.
Individual ports, static trunks, and meshing can all be monitored at the same
time. However, if you configure the switch to monitor a VLAN (5300xl
switches only), all other interfaces are removed from monitoring. Also, you
can configure only one VLAN at a time for monitoring.
Elements in the monitor list can include port numbers, static trunk names,
and the mesh at the same time.
For example, with a port such as port A6 configured as the monitoring (mirror)
port, you would use either of the following commands to select these inter-
faces for monitoring:
• A1 through A3, and A5
• Trunks 1 and 2
• Meshing
Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation
meshing, such as a4, c7, b5-b8, trk1, and mesh.
Allows monitoring of one VLAN. (This option
applies only to the 5300xl switches.)
