•Target Unit – The unit whose port will “duplicate” or “mirror” the traffic on the source port.

•Target Port – The port that will mirror the traffic on the source port.

Web – Click Port, Mirror Port Configuration. Specify the source port/unit, the traffic type to be mirrored, and the monitor port/unit, then click Add.

Configuring Rate Limits

This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic transmitted or received on a port. Rate limiting is configured on ports at the edge of a network to limit traffic coming into or out of the network. Traffic that falls within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable amount of traffic are dropped.

Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an interface is configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped, conforming traffic is forwarded without any changes.
