Port Mirroring

Figure 7- 5. Setup Port Mirroring window

To configure a mirror port:

1.Select the Source Port from where you want to copy frames and the Target Port, which receives the copies from the source port.

2.Select Ingress, Egress, or None and change the Status drop-down menu to Enabled.

3.Click Apply to let the changes take effect.

NOTE: You cannot mirror a fast port onto a slower port. For example, if you try to mirror the traffic from a 100 Mbps port onto a 10 Mbps port, this can cause throughput problems. The port you are copying frames from should always support an equal or lower speed than the port to which you are sending the copies. In addition, the target port for the mirroring cannot be a member of a trunk group. Please note a target port and a source port cannot be the same port.

Link Aggregation

Port trunk groups are used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline.

The DGS-3024 supports up to four port trunk groups with 2 to 8 ports in each group. A potential bit rate of 8000 Mbps can be achieved.
