Configuring port mirroring and observing ports

Hi there, Community!

This post emphasizes the process of configuring port mirroring and observing ports. Please kindly refer to the link below:

PROCEDURE

1. Configuring an observing port

# Configure GE0/0/2 on the switch as the local observing port.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] observe-port 1 interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2

2. Configuring a mirrored port

# Configure GE0/0/1, GE0/0/3 TO xGE4/0/4  on the switch as the mirrored port and configure GE0/0/1 to copy the received packets to the local observing port.

[HUAWEI] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range gigabitethernet 0/0/3 to gigabitethernet 0/0/24

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range gigabitethernet 1/0/1 to gigabitethernet 1/0/24

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range gigabitethernet 2/0/1 to gigabitethernet 2/0/48

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range gigabitethernet 3/0/1 to gigabitethernet 3/0/48

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range gigabitethernet 4/0/1 to gigabitethernet 4/0/48

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range xgigabitethernet 0/0/1 to gigabitethernet 0/0/4

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range xgigabitethernet 1/0/1 to gigabitethernet 1/0/4

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range xgigabitethernet 2/0/1 to gigabitethernet 2/0/4

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range xgigabitethernet 3/0/1 to gigabitethernet 3/0/4

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

[HUAWEI] interface range xgigabitethernet 4/0/1 to gigabitethernet 4/0/4

[HUAWEI] port-mirroring to observe-port 1 inbound

[HUAWEI] return

3. Verifying the configuration

# Check the configuration of the observing port.

<Switch> display observe-port 

Port-mirror:  Mirror-port Direction  Observe-port

This would be all on the process of configuring port mirroring and observing ports. Thanks for reading this post!
