port mirroring on HP switch A5120 E series

[edwincharles]

Hi, can anyone help me on the following regarding port mirroring on HP switch A5120 E series                

We have configured a mirroring group with 6 mirroring ports(1G) to one monitoring port 10G on the HP switch A5120 E series. Would you please let me know if this configuration is fine and if there is any impact on the traffic.

P.S. This thread has been moved from Switches, Hubs, Modems (Legacy ITRC forum) to Comware-Based. -HP Forum Moderator

Hi,

* If you need review of the config, please include the config.

* Your requirement (mirror 6 ports to 1 port) should be no problem.

* Mirroring is supposed to be done by the hardware ASICs, so this should not impact the normal performance of the network,

Hope this helps,Peter
