74 – Enabling port mirroring 

Once port monitoring is completed, for security reasons, GarrettCom strongly 
recommends that the port mirroring be disabled using the “prtmr diable” command.  
 

 

1) Only one port can be set to port mirror at a time 
2) Both the ports (monitored port and sniffer port) have to belong to 
the same VLAN 
3) The mirrored port shows both incoming as well as outgoing traffic 

4)  When port mirror is active, to change mirrored port, first disable 
port mirror and then assign the new port as described above 

Each port on the GarrettCom Magnum 6K family of switches can be setup specific port 
characteristics. The command for setting the port characteristics are: 
 
Syntax  device – enter the device configuration mode 
 
Syntax 

 

where 
device – sets up the Magnum 6K switch in the device configuration mode 
name – assigns a specific name to the port. This name is a designated name for the port 
and can be a server name, user name or any other name
