CONFIGURING PORT
MIRRORING
Use the Interface > Port > Mirror page to mirror traffic from any source
port 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 port in a completely unobtrusive manner.

COMMAND USAGE
â—† Traffic can be mirrored from one or more source ports to one
destination port on the same switch.
â—† Monitor port speed should match or exceed source port speed,
otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.
â—† When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the
same VLAN as the source port when using MSTP (see "Spanning Tree
Algorithm" on page 195).
