Objective
This article describes how to configure port mirroring for switches on Omada Controller.
Requirements
- Omada Smart/ L2+/L3 series switches
- Omada Controller (Software Controller/Hardware Controller/CBC, v5.9 and above)
Introduction
If you want to monitor and analyze a certain port of the switch, you can do it through the port mirroring function of the switch. The port mirroring function helps network administrators to monitor and analyze the traffic of specific ports, which helps to find and solve the problems in the network in time.
Configuration
Configure port mirroring using the Omada GUI
Step 1. Log in to Controller, go to Device, enter the private configurations of the target switch, go to Ports, and select the monitoring port.
Step 2. Enable Profile Overrides and switch Operation to Mirroring. Select one or more ports to monitor traffic. Click Apply to save the configuration.
Configure port mirroring using the CLI Template
Using the CLI Template allows for a more flexible configuration of port mirroring.
Step 1. Go to Settings >CLI Configuration >Device CLI and click Create New Device CLI Profile.
Step 2. Enter the Name and CLI of the CLI Template, then click Next. For example, the following CLI command indicates that port 1/0/3 mirrors port 1/0/1, and the mirrored traffic is the traffic received by port 1/0/1.
And there are three monitor modes: rx, tx and both.
monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/3
monitor session 1 source interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/1 rx
Step 3. Choose devices with the switch you want to configure, and click Save.
Click Apply and activate the CLI Template.
Conclusion
You have successfully configured the port mirroring function.
