ing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.

Configuring the port mirroring by assigning a source port from which to copy all packets and a sniffer port where those packets will be sent.

The selections of the sniffer mode are as follows:

TX (transmit) mode:

This mode will duplicate the data transmitted from the source port and

 

forward it to the sniffer port.

RX (receive) mode:

This mode will duplicate the data sent to the source and forward it to the

 

sniffer port.

Both modes:

(transmit and receive) This mode will duplicate both the data transmitted

 

from and data sent to the source port, then it will forward the data to the

 

sniffer port.
