FIGURE 208 Binding a Port to an ACL
Configuring ACL Mirroring
After configuring ACLs, use the Security > ACL > Configure Interface (Add Mirror) page to mirror
traffic matching an ACL from one or more source ports to a target port for real-time analysis. You
can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the
source VLAN(s) in a completely unobtrusive manner.

List” on page 873.
3. Use the Add Mirror page to specify the ACL and the destination port to which matching traffic
will be mirrored.
