Port Mirroring
NOTE
Do not mirror traffic to a target port that is connected to network devices other than a protocol analyzer. Their behavior may be unpredictable.
If a port is part of an aggregated link, it cannot be configured as the target port for a port mirror. However, a port in an aggregated link can serve as the source port for a port mirror.
Description
Port mirroring is a diagnostic tool you can use to send a copy of the good Ethernet frames transmitted or received on one port to another port. On the second port you can attach a protocol analyzer to capture and analyze the data without interfering with the client on the original port.
Source Port: Use the zto select the port whose traffic you want to mirror.
Target Port: Use the zto select a port to receive the mirrored traffic. It is a good idea to connect a protocol analyzer to this port.
State: Use the zto enable or disable port mirror mirroring.
