Local 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
◆ Traffic can be mirrored from one or more source ports to a destination port on
the same switch (local port mirroring as described in this section), or from one
or more source ports on remote switches to a destination port on this switch
(remote port mirroring as described in “Configuring Remote Port Mirroring” on
page 124).
◆ Monitor port speed should match or exceed source port speed, otherwise
traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.
◆ When mirroring VLAN traffic (see “Configuring VLAN Mirroring” on page 193) or
packets based on a source MAC address (see “Configuring MAC Address
Mirroring” on page 204), the target port cannot be set to the same target ports
as that used for port mirroring by this command.
