All command modes.
Enhanced port mirroring provides for following benefits that non-enhanced port mirrors do not:
A maximum of 4 ports can be enabled for enhanced port mirroring.
An IDS mirror cannot use enhanced mirroring. An enhanced port mirrored to the IDS mirror will use non-enhanced mode.
In the following example, ports ge.3.1 and ge.3.4 are enabled for enhanced port mirroring. The show port mirroring enhanced command displays both ports as enabled for enhanced mirroring. The operational status of ge.3.4 is disabled because there is no active mirror for that port as shown in the show port mirroring command:
System(rw)->set port mirroring enhanced enable ge.3.1,4 System(rw)->show port mirroring enhanced Enhanced Port Mirroring ======================= Max Enhanced Mirror Source Ports: 4 Port Admin Status Oper Status ------------ ------------ ------------ ge.3.1 enabled enabled ge.3.4 enabled disabled System(rw)->show port mirroring Port Mirroring ============== Source Port = ge.3.1 Target Port = ge.3.2 Frames Mirrored = Rx and Tx Admin Status = enabled Operational Status = enabled System(rw)->
