Common Errors

Consider a monitor session with source as Ex0/1 and destinations as Ex0/2 and Ex0/3 with vlan 100.

SEFOS-1# show monitor all
Session     : 1
-------
Source Ports 
Rx              :  None
Tx              :  None
Both            : Ex0/1
Destination Ports : Ex0/2 Ex0/3
VLAN              : 100

The following are the common errors while configuring monitor sessions.

  • Configuring a port as a mirror destination.

    SEFOS-1# configure terminal
    SEFOS-1(config)# monitor session 1 source interface extreme-ethernet 0/2
    % Port already configured as Mirror Destination
    SEFOS-1 (config)# end
    
  • Configuring a port as a mirror source.

    SEFOS-1(config)# monitor session 1 source interface extreme-ethernet 0/3
    % Port already configured as Mirror Source
    SEFOS-1 (config)# end
    
  • Configuring a destination port again for the same session.

    SEFOS-1(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface extreme-ethernet 0/5
    % CLI Command Failed
    % Maximum primary destination mirror ports exceeded
    SEFOS-1 (config)# end
    
  • Configuring a mirror destination as a destination or source of the other session.

    SEFOS-1(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface extreme-ethernet 0/1 secondary interface extreme-ethernet 0/2 vlan 1223
    %Command Failed: Invalid use secondary interfaces
    SEFOS-1 (config)# end
    
  • Configuring a mirror with the primary VLAN.

    vlan ID 200
    Member Ports Ex0/15, Ex0/16
    Untagged Ports None
    Forbidden Ports None
    Reflective-Relay Disabled
    Name
    Status Other
    SEFOS-1(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface extreme-ethernet 0/1 secondary interface extreme-ethernet 0/10 vlan 200
    %Cannot configure Mirror with Principal VLAN
    SEFOS-1(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface extreme-ethernet 0/1 secondary interface extreme-ethernet 0/10 vlan 500
    SEFOS-1 (config)# end
    
  • Configuring a VLAN being used in the secondary mirror.

    SEFOS-1# show monitor all
    Session     : 1
    ------- 
    Destination Ports : Ex0/1 Ex0/10
    VLAN              : 500
    SEFOS-1# configure terminal
    SEFOS-1(config)# vlan 500
    SEFOS-1(config-vlan)# ports add extreme-ethernet 0/9
    %Cannot configure Vlan 500:Currently being used for Mirroring
    SEFOS-1(config-vlan)# end
