Type 2
Mirror Port Settings
Setting Description
Monitored Port Select the number of one port whose network activity will be monitored.
Watch Direction Select one of the following two watch direction options:
Input data stream:
Select this option to monitor only those data packets coming into the Moxa switch’s
port.
Output data stream:
Select this option to monitor only those data packets being sent out through the
Moxa switch’s port.
Bi-directional:
Select this option to monitor data packets both coming into, and being sent out
through, the Moxa switch’s port.
Mirror Port Select the number of the port that will be used to monitor the activity of the monitored
port.
NOTE: In Type 2 settings, users can select only one monitored port for port mirror function.
Ping
The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network
problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the ping command is entered from the user’s
PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from the Moxa switch itself. In this way, the user can
essentially sit on top of the Moxa switch and send ping commands out through its ports.
To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press Enter from the Console utility, or click
Ping when using the Web Browser interface.
LLDP Function
Overview
LLDP is an OSI Layer 2 protocol defined by IEEE 802.11AB. LLDP standardizes the self-identification
advertisement method, and allows each networking device, such as a Moxa managed switch, to periodically
send its system and configuration information to its neighbors. Because of this, all LLDP devices are kept
