port mirroring on stack

[maro584]

Hello everyone,

I have two hp 3800 switches working on stack and I want to made a port mirroring which will copy a traffic from few ports on both switches and send throungt one port to some kind of network analyzer. Is this configuration is possible for switches working on stack.

Yes, it is. (Backplane) Stacking, as deployed on HP/Aruba 3800 Switch series, should not interfere - a part from considering physical interface naming convention (stack member ID/port number, as example: 3/10 instead of only 10 when you designate port 10 of the 3rd stack member) - with port mirroring capabilities.

Please refer to HPE ArubaOS-Switch Management and Configuration Guide for KA/KB.16.xx (where xx would be 03, 04 or 05) and use latest firmware if possible.
