Configuration Examples
7.1 Example for Port Mirror
7.1.1 Network Requirements
As shown below, several hosts and a network analyzer are directly connected to the switch.
For network security and troubleshooting, the network manager needs to use the network
analyzer to monitor the data packets from the end hosts.

7.1.2 Configuration Scheme
To implement this requirement, you can configure port mirror to copy the packets from
ports 1/0/2-5 to port 1/0/1. The overview of configuration is as follows:
1) Specify ports 1/0/2-5 as the source ports, allowing the switch to copy the packets from
the hosts.
2) Specify port 1/0/1 as the destination port so that the network analyzer can receive
mirrored packets from the hosts.
Demonstrated with T1600G-52TS, the following sections provide configuration procedure
in two ways: using the GUI and using the CLI.
7.1.3 Using the GUI
1) Choose the menu Switching > Port > Port Mirror to load the following page. It displays
the information of the mirror session.
