DXS-3326GSR Gigabit Layer 3 Switch
Figure 6- 7. Setup Port Mirroring window
To configure a mirror port:
Select the Unit and Source Port from where you want to copy frames and the Target Port, which receives the
copies from the source port.

Select the Source Direction, Ingress, Egress, or Both and change the Status
drop-down menu to
Enabled
.
Click
Apply
to let the changes take effect.
NOTE:
You cannot mirror a fast port onto a slower port. For example, if
you try to mirror the traffic from a 100 Mbps port onto a 10 Mbps port, this
can cause throughput problems. The port you are copying frames from
should always support an equal or lower speed than the port to which you
are sending the copies. Also, the target port for the mirroring cannot be a
member of a trunk group. Please note a target port and a source port
cannot be the same port.
Link Aggregation
Understanding Port Trunk Groups
Port trunk groups are used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline.
The DXS-3326GSR supports up to 32 port trunk groups with two to eight ports in each group. This includes link
aggregation groups that spread over multiple switches in the switch stack.
