16.7 Port Mirroring

Port mirroring allows you to copy traffic going from one or all ports to another or all ports in order that you can examine the traffic from the mirror port (the port you copy the traffic to) without interference.

You must first select a monitor port. A monitor port is a port that copies the traffic of another port. After you select a monitor port, configure a mirroring rule in the related fields.

To open the Port Mirroring screen, right-click on the switch in the Device List Panel, and click Configuration > Ethernet Port > Port Mirroring. Then select a device and the port(s) to which you want to apply this configuration.
