14.1 Configuring Port Mirroring

Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as a diagnostic tool as well as a debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.

Network administrators can configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port from which to copy all packets, and other ports to which the packets copied.

To perform port mirroring diagnostics:

1.Click System > Maintenance > Diagnostics > Port Mirroring. The Port Mirroring Page opens:

Figure 127: Port Mirroring Page

The Port Mirroring Page contains the following fields:

Destination Port — Defines the port number to which port traffic is copied.

Transmit Packets — Defines the how the packets are mirrored. The possible field values are:

Untagged — Mirrors packets as untagged VLAN packets. This is the default value.

Tagged — Mirrors packets as tagged VLAN packets.

Source Port — Indicates the port from which the packets are mirrored.

Type — Indicates the port mode configuration for port mirroring. The possible field values are:

RX — Defines the port mirroring on receiving ports.

TX — Defines the port mirroring on transmitting ports.

Both — Defines the port mirroring on both receiving and transmitting ports. This is the default value.

Remove — Removes the port mirroring session. The possible field values are:

Checked — Removes the selected port mirroring sessions.

Unchecked — Maintains the port mirroring session.
