Hi Sofiane,

Looking at the command you provided above you are mirroring traffic from port 12 to port 1 so you’ll need to place your sniffer on port 1.

I would be really surprised if this didn’t work.

Cheers!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your response.

Ihe version of software is:
FW: 4500_5203_diag.bin
SW: 4500_520009s.img

Requires that the sniffer is connected to the 1 or 12?

Best regards

Hi Hammiche,

I believe you have the proper syntax. Your sniffer is connected to port 1 correct?

What version of software is the switch running?

If I can find the time I’ll test it on a 4548GT-PWR that I have in our testlab.

Cheers!
