3-3. Mirror
The Mirror function of the GSM series of switches is used to capture data from a particular port
on the switch. Any port on the switch can be selected as the monitoring port; this port will be used
to capture data from another port on the switch using third party data capturing software. Data
can be captured from more than one port on the switch simultaneously therefore you can have
one monitoring port and several other ports being monitored by the one port.
