<Apply>	<OK>	<Add>
Enable or disable port mirror function.

READ/SELECT

Use <TAB> or arrow keys to move, <Space> to scroll options.

Parameter	Description
Enable Port Mirror	Enables or disables the mirror function.
Mirrored Ports	The port whose transmitted or received traffic will be mirrored.
(Tx/Rx)	Select <Add> to specify mirrored ports.
Monitor Port	The port that will duplicate the transmitted or received traffic
(Tx/Rx)	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.

2.5.2.3.Configuring Port Trunks

Ports can be combined into an aggregate link to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to 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 (see chapter 2 “Configuring STA for Ports”). The ports that can be assigned to the same trunk are listed on chapter 2 “Configuring Global Bridge Settings”. Besides 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 fails. However, before making any physical connections between devices, use the Port Trunking Configuration menu to specify the trunk on the devices at both ends.
