2.3. Setup the Switch¶
2.3.1. Setup Network Settings¶
The next step is to check and setup network settings:
(Routing) #show network
IP Address..................................... 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask.................................... 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway................................ 0.0.0.0
Burned In MAC Address.......................... 60:EB:69:A9:22:05
Locally Administered MAC Address............... 00:00:00:00:00:00
MAC Address Type............................... Burned In
Network Configuration Protocol Current......... None
Management VLAN ID............................. 1
(Routing) #
All ports are turned off, so no DHCP assignment received yet. To turn on all ports:
(Routing) #configure
(Routing) (Config)#no shutdown all
(Routing) (Config)#exit
(Routing) #show port all

The next step is to setup the switch IP address:
(Routing) #network parms 192.168.50.91 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.1
Check the network settings:
(Routing) #show network
IP Address..................................... 192.168.50.91
Subnet Mask.................................... 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway................................ 192.168.50.91

Locally Administered MAC Address............... 00:00:00:00:00:00
MAC Address Type............................... Burned In
Network Configuration Protocol Current......... None
Management VLAN ID............................. 1

2.3.2. Enabling SSH Access¶
To enable the SSH access:
(Routing) >enable
Passsword:
(Routing) #ip ssh server enable
2.3.3. Enabling WEB Inteface¶
To enable the Web interface:
(Routing) >enable
Passsword:
(Routing) #ip http server
2.3.4. Saving Configuration Changes¶
Warning
Write down the changes to router NVRAM. Otherwise all changes will be lost upon switch reset! This operation may take a few minutes. Management interfaces will not be available during this time.
(Routing) #write memory
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) y
Config file 'startup-config' created successfully .
Configuration Saved!
(Routing) #
2.4. Configuring Port Mirroring¶
2.4.1. What is Port Mirroring?¶
The port mirroring feature allows the switch to copy the network traffic from one or several source port to a destination port. The destination port can mirror packets transmitted or received by the source port(-s) or both. Only one port can be set as a destination port for the mirroring, but the source port can be one or more.
2.4.2. Configuring Port Mirroring via CLI¶
Setting up a Port Mirroring Session¶
The following commands enable port mirroring session and configure source and destination ports.
(Routing) #Config
(Routing) (Config) #monitor session 1 mode
(Routing) (Config) #monitor session 1 source interface 0/45 ?
<cr> Press Enter to execute the command.
rx Monitor ingress packets only.
tx Monitor egress packets only.
(Routing) (Config) #monitor session 1 source interface 0/45
(Routing) (Config) #monitor session 1 destination interface 0/46
(Routing) (Config) #exit
Show the Port Mirroring Session¶
To show the port mirroring session:
(Routing) #show monitor session 1
Session ID Admin Mode Probe Port Mirrored Port Type
---------- ---------- ---------- ------------- -----
1 Enable 0/46 0/45 Rx,Tx
Monitor session ID “1” - “1” is a hardware limitation.
Show the Status of All Ports¶
To show the port mirroring session:
(Routing) #show port all

Show the Status of the Source and Destination Ports¶
Use this command for a specific port. The output shows whether the port is the mirror or the probe port, what is enabled or disabled on the port, etc.

2.4.3. Configuring Port Mirroring via Web Interface¶
Note
Web interface needs to be enabled - please see the section 2.3.3. Enabling WEB Inteface
1. Open the logon page in your browser using the switch IP address (according to the network settings you made - see section 2.3.1. Setup Network Settings). In this case the address is 192.168.50.91.
For the user name type admin and fot the password - leave blank:
- After entering the Web interface, expand the System tree of the Navigation field to the
System/Port/Multiple port mirroring.
- Setting a Multiple port mirroring is done by pressing a button
Add source portand entering the following settings:
Source port = 0/45for this case;Direction = Tx and Rx
The entered settings will be confirmed by clicking on the button Add.
- The final step is to enable the port mirroring by setting the
Mode = Enable, set theDestination port = 0/4(according to this example) and confirmt by pressing theSubmutbutton.
