  • 1.  ArubaCX 6100 port mirror Limitation?

    Posted Sep 13, 2023 07:15 AM

    Hi all, we have a Packet capture device connected to our Aruba 6100 Switch.

    And we want to capture all of our VLAN1 to be mirror to our packet capture device but based on the below screenshot we are only can do it ether  interface/LAG.

    Even if we are to using interface but only allow to use 4 interface port maximum as source on Aruba 6100.

    Based on the Aruba 6100 monitoring Guide @ page 60. It stated VLAN as source but i wasn't able to configure VLAN as source so wondering if it is a limitation on Aruba 6100 to mirror based on either VLAN1 or all interfaces.

    Hi, I think this is an error in the doc and it isn't possible on 6100. Here from an example switch on latest code:

    Xxxstx3(config-mirror-1)# list
      list
      (comment) .TEXT
      no comment
      no destination interface
      no destination cpu
      no destination tunnel
      no source interface (PORT-NUM|LAG-NAME)
      enable
      no enable
      disable
      no disable
      exit
      end
      show running-config current-context
      source interface (PORT-NUM|LAG-NAME) (both|rx|tx)
      no source interface (PORT-NUM|LAG-NAME) (both|rx|tx)
      destination interface IFNAMELIST
      no destination interface IFNAMELIST

    From a larger hardware model:

    Xxxstr2a(config-mirror-1)# source vlan
      <1-4094>  Enter a VLAN number
    pbxstr2a(config-mirror-1)# source vlan

    I should add, mirroring is dependent on the ASIC used so I would expect it to be the same for all members of a family.
