Port Mirroring
Port mirroring allows you to configure the IntraCore 6524 to copy all traffic
associated with one port (the Monitor Port) to a Mirror Port on the switch. You
can connect the Mirror Port to a network analyzer or RMON probe for packet
analysis. You can configure the Monitor Port to send either transmitted or
received traffic to the Mirror Port.
In the IntraCore 6524, port 13 is always the Mirror Port. You can specify any
other port to be a Monitor Port, except ports 25 and 26, the two Gigabit ports
in the switch.
To configure port mirroring in the IntraCore 6524, type m in the
Configuration Menu. A screen similar to Figure 3-16 appears.
