7.2.3.1 Introduction to Port Mirroring
Port mirroring refers to the duplication of data frames sent/received on a port to another port. The
duplicated port is referred to as mirror source port and the duplicating port is referred to as mirror
destination port. A protocol analyzer (such as Sniffer) or RMON monitoring instrument is often attached
to the mirror destination port to monitor and manage the network and diagnostic.
SS2R24/48G4i switch switch support one mirror destination port only. The number of mirror source
ports are not limited, one or more may be used. Multiple source ports can be within the same VLAN or
across several VLANs. The destination port and source port(s) can be located in different VLANs.
