1.2  Supported Features
Port Statistics
Port Statistics is used to display the information of each port, which facilitates you to 
monitor the traffic and locate faults promptly.
Port Mirror
Port Mirror is used to monitor network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and 
outgoing packets from one or multiple ports (mirrored ports) to a specified port (mirroring 
port). Generally, the mirroring port is connected to a data diagnosis device, which is used 
to analyze the mirrored packets for monitoring and troubleshooting the network.
Cable Test
This switch provides cable test to diagnose the connection status of the cable connected 
to the switch and the distance to the problem location, which facilitates you to locate and 
diagnose the trouble spot of the network.
Loop Prevention
With loop prevention feature enabled, the switch can detect loops using loop detection 
packets. When a loop is detected, the switch will block the corresponding port 
automatically.
