hi,

I need to collect sniffer trace from MPLS link. Since it's directly from ISP to router ethernet.I am planning to put a cisco 3750 in between ISP and Router.

Having cisco 3750 in place, can i configure bridge port to bypass MPLS traffic and mirror the port?

Hi,

Hope the below examples will help you.

This example shows how to create bridge group 10, to specify that the VLAN-bridge STP runs in the
bridge group, to define a port as a routed port, and to assign the port to the bridge group:

Switch(config)# bridge 10 protocol vlan-bridge
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet3/0/1
Switch(config-if)# no switchport
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if)# bridge-group 10


This example shows how to create bridge group 10 and to specify that the VLAN-bridge STP runs in the
bridge group. It defines a port as an SVI and assigns this port to VLAN 2 and to the bridge group:

Switch(config)# bridge 10 protocol vlan-bridge
Switch(config)# vlan 2
Switch(config-vlan)# exit
Switch(config)# interface vlan 2
Switch(config-if)# bridge-group 10
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if)# exit
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/2
Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access
Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown

Please rate the helpfull posts.

Naidu.

Im pretty sure you could just do a normal access vlan switch ports

turn off unnecessary stuff like cdp , and put on bdpu filter so you dont see unnecessary traffic

eg...

Int gi x/x

description One end of mpls connnection

switchport

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan 500

spanning-tree portfast

spanning-tree bpdufilter enable

switchport nonegotiate

no cdp enable

Int gi x/x

description Other end of mpls connnection

switchport

switchport mode access

switchport access vlan 500

spanning-tree portfast

spanning-tree bpdufilter enable

switchport nonegotiate

no cdp enable

then do a span port on either port , doesnt matter which one

monitor session 1 source interface x

monitor session 1 destination interface x

destination interface , connect your laptop to this and run wireshark.
