5.2.14 Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring is a method for monitoring of network traffic on switched networks. Traffic through
ports can be monitored by one specific port, which means traffic going in or out the monitored
(source) ports will be duplicated into the mirroring (destination) port.
• Destination Port: Select one port to be the destination (mirroring) port for monitoring
both RX and TX traffic coming from the source port. Or, select two ports for monitoring RX
traffic and TX traffic respectively. Users can forward the traffic captured by the mirroring
port to the packet analyzer like Netxray for further analyses.
• Source Port: Tick the checkbox to monitor the corresponding port. All monitored port
traffic will be copied to the mirroring (destination) port. Users can select multiple source
ports by ticking the RX or TX checkboxes.
• When finished, click the Apply button.
