Admin > Port Mirroring
Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or a debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a target port to which the packets are copied, and the source port(s) from which the packets are copied. Port mirroring supports a maximum of one target port and four source ports.
Admin > Port Mirroring
Set the following attributes for port mirroring using the Port Mirroring screen.
Target Port The port that will mirror the traffic on the source port.
Source Port The port whose traffic will be monitored.
Type Allows you to select which traffic to mirror to the target port; receive, transmit, or both.
•RxOnly (Default) Mirror only received traffic.
•TxOnly Mirror only transmitted traffic.
•Both Mirror both received and transmitted traffic.
Specify the source port, the traffic type to be mirrored, and the target port, then click Add to List. The mirror session is displayed in the text box.
