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.

To configure a port for mirroring

1.In the left panel, click Mirroring Configurations.

2.Configure these fields.

Field	Description
	Specifies the port where information will be duplicated and sent for capture
Target Port	and network analysis. This is the port where a network analyzer would be
	attached to capture packets duplicated from the source (mirrored) port.
	Specifies which port to mirror and which packets to mirror. This port is the
	source of the packets. Use one of the following values:
	• Rx—Mirror incoming packet.
Mirrored Port	• Tx—Mirror outgoing packets.
	• Both—Mirror both incoming and outgoing packets.
	• None—Do not mirror.
	If the port is grayed out, the port cannot be selected for mirroring.

3.Click Apply.

4.To remove an entry, select the port and click None.

VLAN Configurations

The switch allows the assignment of an IP interface to each VLAN. A VLAN must be configured before setting up its IP interface. You can create either a port-based or an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. By default, all ports belong to an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN called “default.” Although this VLAN cannot be deleted, all member ports can be assigned to other VLANs.

To configure GVRP globally

The global GVRP flag determines whether GVRP (Group VLAN Registration Protocol) is enabled on the switch so that the switch can share VLAN information with other switches, and VLANs can span multiple switches. When this flag is disabled, VLANs are confined to the physical connections of the switch. By default, this flag is disabled.

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click Switch GVRP.

3.Use the drop-down menu to select Enabled or Disabled.

4.Click Apply.
