Port Mirroring
To configure a port for port mirroring:
Click the
Mirroring
link and then the
Target Port Selection
link:
Figure 6 - 51. Target Port Selection
The target port is the port where information will be duplicated and sent for capture and network analysis. This is the port
where a network analyzer would be attached to capture packets duplicated from the source port.
Up to 25 entries can be made to the port mirroring table, but it should be noted that a faster port (a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
port, for example) should not be mirrored to a slower port (one of the 24 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet port), because many packets
will be dropped.
The following fields can be set:
Parameter
