Figure 6-62. Setup Port Mirroring screen
Up to 25 entries can be made to the port mirroring table, but it should be noted that a faster port (a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet port, for example) should not be mirrored to a slower port (one of the 24 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet port), because many packets will be dropped.
ParameterDescription
Action:
<Add/Modify>
This field can be toggled between Add/Modify and Delete using the space bar. Entries can be added, modified or deleted based upon the port number entered in the Source Port field.
Source Port [24] Allows the entry of the port number of the port to be mirrored. This port is the source of the packets to be duplicated and forwarded to the Target port.
Direction:<Either> This field can be toggled between Either, Ingress and Egress. Ingress mirrors only received packets, while Egress mirrors only transmitted packets.
Priority
To configure a forwarding priority for a given MAC address, highlight Priority from the main menu and press Enter.
