Port Mirroring is a way to send network traffic to a port that wouldn’t ordinarily receive it, so that a
network manager can troubleshoot the network by analyzing the traffic.
Configure Port Mirroring by selecting a port to be monitored and a sniffer port to which that traffic
will be sent.
Choose from one of these three modes:
•
TX (Transmit) Mode: all traffic transmitted by the source port will also be sent to the sniffer
port
•
RX (Receive) Mode: all traffic received by the source port will also be sent to the sniffer port
•
Both (Transmit and Receive) Mode: all traffic either transmitted or received by the source
port will also be sent to the sniffer port
