3.13.1 Using Mirror Port to Monitor Traffic

This function allows you to set up a ‘mirror’ port of any specified port(s) or VLAN, such that you can monitor the traffics of the monitored port(s) or VLAN without intervening them. In effect, the traffics on the monitored port(s) VLAN are replicated on the mirror port that you can use a protocol analyzer to analyze the traffic for specific problem. The Port Mirroring screen in Figure 3-17 appears.
