Figure 4-37. Port Mirroring Window

Following is a high-level description for each field in the window: Mirror Port

The Mirror Port values represent the two external Ethernet ports of the EVIC. When a Mirror Port is enabled, traffic from a monitored port is sent out the Mirror Port. For example, if the mirror state for mirror port 1 is enabled, and the monitor port field for mirror port 1 has a value of 2, then traffic sent and received on ports 2 is sent out port 1 (that may have some form of traffic monitoring device attached).

Mirror State

Mirroring can be enabled or disabled on a port. Monitor Port

External port(s) whose traffic is duplicated to another port (i.e., the Mirror Port) for network monitoring. The selections are one or two.

NOTE:The monitor port must be a port different then the mirror port (e.g., port

1 cannot monitor itself).
