Mirroring Configurations

Incoming or outgoing traffic from any source port can be mirrored for realtime analysis. A logic analyzer or a RMON probe can then be attached to study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive manner. When mirroring port traffic, remember the following conditions:

The target port should be operating at the same or higher speed than the source port. If the target port is operating at a lower speed than the source port, packets will be lost.

For optimum performance, you should mirror three or fewer ports at any given time.
