This is my first time asking a question here but I've been lurking around Serverfault and Superuser for a bit. I've tried searching for this but I have yet to find something that would be able to help me.

My question is how would you enable port mirroring for a HP Procurve 5406ZL? The configuration guide is not very clear in the mirror-port function. I know that I'll need to use the mirror-port [[ethernet] PORT-NUM] but it don't know (or how) should I go specifying the target port to be mirrored?

I hope that the question is clear enough for you all to extend your assistance.

Thank you very much in advance.

You set the target to be monitored using the monitor command page 385 in your book.

Usage: [no] monitor mac MAC-ADDR mirror <1-4 | NAME-STR>

Description: Set up traffic monitoring for a given MAC address. Network traffic with this MAC address as the source or destination is copied to the mirror port.

Parameters: MAC-ADDR - MAC address to be monitored

- Type of traffic to monitor: src - Monitor traffic with MAC-ADDR as the source. dst - Monitor traffic with MAC-ADDR as the destination. both - Monitor traffic with MAC-ADDR as the source or destination.

<1-4> - Mirror destination number

NAME-STR - Friendly name associated with the mirror destionation number.
