Mirror Port Select the port number of the port that will be used to monitor the activity of the monitored port.

Watch Direction Select one of the following three watch direction options:

yInput data stream

Select this option to monitor only those data packets coming in through the EDS’s port.

yOutput data stream

Select this option to monitor only those data packets being sent out through the EDS’s port.

yBi-directional

Select this option to monitor data packets both coming into, and being sent out through, the EDS’s port.

STEP 2

Be sure to activate your settings before exiting.

•When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking the Activate button.

•When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and then press Enter. You should receive the Mirror port settings are now active! (Press any key to continue) message.

Ping

The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the ping command is entered from the user’s PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from the EDS itself. In this way, the user can essentially control the EDS and send ping commands out through its ports.

To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press Enter from the Console utility, or click Ping when using the Web Browser interface.
