HP ProCurve Port Monitoring


Below is a quick guide on how-to configure port monitoring on an HP ProCurve 3800 switch

Configure the mirror
This is the port you are going to attach your collector (Wireshark).

  • switch-core(config)# mirror 1 port e 17

Configure the port to monitor
This selects the port to monitor and tells it were to mirror it.  In this example we are monitoring eth-1 and mirroring it to mirror 1 which we define in the previous step.

  • switch-core(eth-1)# monitor all both mirror 1
Collect your packets
Start collecting your packets using an application like Wireshark - website

  2. Just curious if anyone sees this working for both ingress and egress? I have a customer's environment that only appears to be mirroring ingress traffic. The commands were correct, well done!

  3. Good post. I learn something totally new and challenging on blogs I stumble upon on a daily basis. It will always be interesting to read articles from other authors and practice something from their websites...this is really good material
