all error reporting. For example, Syslog and local device reporting messages are assigned a severity code, and include a message mnemonic, which identifies the source application generating the message. It allows messages to be filtered based on their urgency or relevancy. Each message severity determines the set of event logging devices that are sent per each event logging.
Logging Indicates if device global logs for Cache, File, and Server Logs are enabled. Console logs are enabled by default.

Admin > Port Mirroring
Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or a debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and different ports from which the packets are copied.
Source Port Defines the port to which traffic is mirrored.
Type Indicates the port mode configuration for port mirroring. The possible field values are:
•• RxOnly Defines the port mirroring on receiving ports. This is the default value.
•• TxOnly Defines the port mirroring on transmitting ports.
Both Defines the port mirroring on both receiving and transmitting ports.
Target Port Defines the port from which traffic is mirrored.

Admin > Cable Test
Port This is the port to which the cable is connected.
