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