When configuring a destination switch, note that:
z The destination port of remote port mirroring cannot be a member port of an existing mirroring
group, a member port of an aggregation group, or a port enabled with LACP or STP.
z Only an existing static VLAN can be configured as the remote-probe VLAN. To remove a
remote-probe VLAN, you need to restore it to a normal VLAN first. A remote port mirroring group
gets invalid if the corresponding remote port mirroring VLAN is removed.
Configuring MAC-Based Mirroring
z The MAC address specified for MAC-based mirroring must be a static MAC address existing in the
MAC address table.
z You can configure MAC-based mirroring for a remote source mirroring group to implement the
MAC-based remote mirroring function.
