5.2.6 CONFIGURATION — MIRRORING
FIGURE 5-11. MIRRORING CONFIGURATION SCREEN
Port Mirroring is used on a network switch to send a copy of network packets seen on one port (or an entire VLAN) to a network
monitoring connection on another switch port. This is commonly used for network appliances that require monitoring of network
traffic, such as an intrusion-detection system.
Port to Mirror to: The port that will “duplicate” or “mirror” the traffic on the source port. Only incoming packets can be mirrored. Packets will
be dropped when the available egress bandwidth is less than the ingress bandwidth.
Ports to Mirror: Select the ports that you want to mirror from this section of the page. A port will be mirrored when the “Mirroring Enabled”
checkbox is checked.
