Admin > 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 diagnostic tool and/or a debugging feature. Port

mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators configure port mirroring by

selecting a target port to which the packets are copied,

and the source port(s) from which the packets are copied.

Port mirroring supports a maximum of one target port

and four source ports.

Admin > Port Mirroring

Set the following attributes for port mirroring using the

Port Mirroring screen.

Target Port

The port that will mirror the traffic on the

source port.

Source Port

The port whose traffic will be monitored.

Type

Allows you to select which traffic to mirror to the

target port; receive, transmit, or both.

RxOnly

(Default) Mirror only received traffic.

TxOnly

Mirror only transmitted traffic.

Both

Mirror both received and transmitted traffic.

Specify the source port, the traffic type to be mirrored, and

the target port, then click Add to List. The mirror session

is displayed in the text box.
