Port Mirroring

TheSecureStackB3deviceallowsyoutomirror(orredirect)thetrafficbeingswitchedonaport

forthepurposesofnetworktrafficanalysisandconnectionassurance.Whenportmirroringis

enabled,oneportbecomesamonitorportforanotherportwithinthedevice.

Mirroring Features

TheSecureStackB3devicesupportsthefollowingmirroringfeatures:

• Mirroringcanbeconfiguredinamany‐to‐oneconfigurationsothatonetarget(destination)

portcanmonitortrafficonupto8sourceports.Onlyonemirrordestinationportcanbe

configuredperstack,ifapplicable.

•Bothtransmitandreceivetrafficwill

bemirrored.

•Amirroringsessionwhichisconfiguredtobeactive(enabled)willbeoperationallyactive

onlyifbothadestinat ionportandatleastonesourceporthavebeenconfigured.

themirroringsession

isnotoperationallyactive,thenthedestinationportwillactasanormal
