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

•The mirror port and monitor port speeds must match, otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.

•All mirror sessions must share the same destination port.

Web Interface

Click Port/Mirror. Specify the source port, the traffic type to be mirrored, and the monitor port. Click “Add.”
