4.4 CONFIGURING PORT MIRRORING
The Matrix device allows you to mirror (or redirect) the traffic being switched on a port or VLAN
for the purposes of network traffic analysis and connection assurance. When port mirroring is
enabled, one port becomes a monitor port for another port or VLAN within the device.
4.4.1 Supported Mirrors
The following types of ports can participate in mirroring on the Matrix Series device:
• Physical ports, including front panel and FTM-1 ports
• Virtual ports, including Link Aggregation Group (LAG) and host ports. For details on
configuring ports for link aggregation, refer to Section 4.5.
• VLAN ports. For details on configuring 802.1Q VLANs, refer to Chapter 7.
• IDS (Intrusion Detection System) ports configured as part of a LAG.
CAUTION: Port mirroring configuration should be performed only by personnel who are
knowledgeable about the effects of port mirroring and its impact on network operation.
