Configuring Port Mirroring

You can mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis. You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive manner.

Command Usage

•Monitor port speed should match or exceed source port speed, otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.

•All mirror sessions must share the same destination port.

•When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the same VLAN as the source port.
