4.11.3 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 (refer to figure 4-55).

Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and

different ports from which the packets are copied.
