14 PORT MIRRORING
You can mirror traffic 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 ports in a
completely unobtrusive manner.
USAGE GUIDELINES
◆ The destination port speed should match or exceed source port speed,
otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.
◆ Two mirror sessions can be configured.
◆ All mirrored ports share the same destination port.
PARAMETERS
The following parameters are displayed on the Port Mirroring page:
◆ Mirror Set Index — Displays a list of current mirror sessions.
◆ Mirror Direction — Allows you to select which traffic to mirror to the
target port, Rx (receive) or Tx (transmit). (Default: Rx)
◆ Mirrored Port List — One or more source ports whose traffic will be
monitored. (Range: 1-26 and configured trunks)
◆ Mirroring Port — The target port that will mirror the traffic on the
source ports. (Range: 1-26)
