Description

Enable Port Mirror

Enables or disables the mirror function.

TX Mirrored Port

The port whose transmitted traffic will be mirrored.

TX Monitored Port

The port that will duplicate the transmitted traffic appearing on the

 

mirrored port.

RX Mirrored Port

The port whose received traffic will be mirrored.

RX Monitored Port

The port that will duplicate the received traffic appearing on the

 

mirrored port.

Note:

 

You can mirror multiple ports to a single port to view traffic such as that crossing a port trunk. However, note that some packets may be dropped for moderate to heavy loading.

3.6.2.3.Configuring Port Trunks

Ports can be combined into an aggregate link to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or ensure fault recovery. You can configure trunks between any two switches. Ports 1-24 on this switch can be grouped into a trunk consisting of two, four or eight ports, creating an aggregate bandwidth up to 400, 800 or 1600 Mbps when operating at full duplex. Ports 25-26 (extender module ports) can be trunked together creating an aggregate bandwidth up to 2 Gps. The ports that can be assigned to the same trunk are listed on next page. Beyond balancing the load across each port in the trunk, the additional ports provide redundancy by taking over the load if another port in the trunk should fail. However, before making any physical connections between devices, use the Trunk Configuration menu to specify the trunk on the devices at both ends. When using
