3Com 4500 switch SPAN (port mirroring)

In the example below I am creating monitoring on port 50 for port 49. My port 49 is my uplink port for that 3Com 4500 48+2 port switch:

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/49
port link-type trunk
port trunk permit vlan all
port trunk pvid vlan 10
mirroring-group 1 mirroring-port both
#
return
[SD-LIB-3C4500-50P]dis cur int g1/0/50
#
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/50
port link-type trunk
port trunk permit vlan all
port trunk pvid vlan 10
mirroring-group 1 monitor-port
#
return
[SD-LIB-3C4500-50P]display mirror 1
mirroring-group 1:
type: local
status: active
mirroring port:
GigabitEthernet1/0/49  both
monitor port: GigabitEthernet1/0/50

3Com 4500 switch firmware update

This is mostly for my own notes, but someone else may find it useful.

I used TFTP method to transfer file to the switch. I used Linux Fedora TFTP daemon to accomplish that.

File name Prefix / Suffix

s3n / .app = 4500 application software.

s30 / .btm = 4500 boot ROM software

s3p / .web = 4500 web file (HTTP management interface)

3comOScfg.def / .def = 4500 config file

<4500>delete /u s3004_01.btm
<4500>delete /u s3p04_03.web
<4500>detete /u s3n03_03_02s56p05.app

<4500>boot boot-loader flash:/s3n03_03_02s56p06.app
<4500>boot bootrom flash:/s3o04_02.btm

and after rebooting the switch:

<4500>boot web-package s3v02_04.web main
