MIRROR
Port Mirroring allows you to watch traffic using Wireshark or another tool, without disturbing the
original port. We want to monitor traffic on port 10. We will mirror port 4. Port 4 will be monitoring the
traffic on port 10. We will connect a laptop to port 4 with Wireshark installed to monitor the traffic on
port 3 through port 4.

down.
Able Config Port – Select the port that you will be doing the monitoring on. Select the port from the list.

only transmitting data will be mirrored. If “Both” is selected, transmitting and receiving data will be
mirrored.

4 is listed because port 4 is the mirroring port.
