To configure a mirroring session:

STEP 1 In the Port Mirroring Source Interface Table, click Add.

STEP 2 Select a Session ID.

STEP 3 Select the Source Interface and the type of traffic to be mirrored.

STEP 4 By using the Type radio button, specify the direction of the traffic at the source interface that is to be monitored:

Rx Only—Incoming traffic

Tx Only—Outgoing traffic

Tx and Rx—Both incoming and outgoing traffic

STEP 5 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

You can repeat the process to assign multiple Source Interfaces to the same session. However, a source interface can be used in only one active session at a time.

STEP 6 In the Port Mirroring Session Table, select the session to activate and click Edit.

STEP 7 For the Admin Mode, select Enable. (Deselecting the Admin Mode check box retains the session configuration but disables it.)

STEP 8 For the Destination Interface, select Enable and select a Destination Interface port to mirror the data.

!

CAUTION When a port is configured as a destination probe port, the switch does not forward or receive any traffic on that port and it does not respond to any pings received on that port. All the previous configuration parameters on that port are cleared and the port must be reconfigured when mirroring is removed from the port configuration.

Select Reset Session to clear any configuration parameters applied during this session.

STEP 9 Click Apply and then click Close. The probe session begins.

NOTE To end a probe session, select the session in the Port Mirroring Session Table and click Edit. Clear the Admin Mode checkbox, click Apply, and then click Close.

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
