Mirror Port Configuration

The Mirror Port Configuration screen allows you to mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis. You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive manner. When mirroring port traf- fic, the target port must be included in the same VLAN as the source port.

•Enable Port Mirror - Enables or disables the mirror function.

•Mirrored Ports (Tx/Rx) - The port whose transmitted or received traffic will be mirrored. Press Add to specify mirrored ports.

•Monitor Port - 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.

Port Trunking Configuration

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. The RJ-45 ports 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 1600Mbps when operating at full duplex.

•Index - The trunk identifier.

•Port Count - Trunks can contain 2, 4, or 8 ports.

•Port Number - The ports assigned to each trunk.

Select OK to return to the previous panel. Select Add to add a trunk.
