CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

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.

•The switch supports only one port mirror session.

•The source and target port have to be either both in the port group of 1 to 12 or both in the port group of 13 to 24.

Web – Click Port, Mirror. Specify the source port, the traffic type to be mirrored, and the target port, then click Add.

CLI – Use the interface command to select the target port, then use the port monitor command to specify the source port. Note that default mirroring under the CLI is for both received and transmitted packets.
