Mirroring
Mirroring
The device provides the option of simultaneously channeling incoming or outgoing data
streams via other interfaces for analysis or monitoring. This has no effect on the monitored
data streams. This procedure is known as mirroring. In this menu section, you enable or
disable mirroring and set the parameters.
Mirroring ports
Mirroring a port means that the data traffic at a port (mirrored port) of the IE switch is copied
to another port (monitor port). You can mirror one or more ports to a monitor port.
