These are the notes I have on the subject. I do not know if they are release specific.
How to mirror the LAN port on a CXi
Body/Solutions
The CXi can mirror LAN ports for ethereal capture. The commands to enable port mirroring are:
mipsdb_debug 51, “destination_port source_port”
mipsdb_debug 51, “ 3 4 5 6 7” i.e. port 4 to 7 are mirrored to 3
The command to disable the mirroring is:
mipsdb_debug 50
Note:
These commands do not survive a reboot. If the CXi reboots, you will have to reinitialize the mirroring.
Also, please note that when the mirroring is enabled, the port that is doing the mirroring cannot be used for any other purposes.
