Port and VLAN Mirroring
Port and VLAN mirroring monitors network traffic by forwarding copies of
incoming and outgoing packets from a monitored port to a monitoring port.
Users specify which target port receives copies of all traffic passing through a
specified source port.

.
Broadcast Storm Control
Storm Control limits the number of Multicast and Broadcast frames accepted
and forwarded by the device.
When Layer 2 frames are forwarded, Broadcast and Multicast frames are
forwarded to multiple ports on the relevant VLAN and excess Broadcast and
Multicast could degrade network performance and disrupt services.

VLAN Supported Features
VLAN Support
VLANs are collections of switching ports that comprise a single Broadcast
domain. Packets are classified as belonging to a VLAN, based on either the
VLAN tag or on a combination of the ingress port and packet contents.
Packets sharing common attributes can be grouped in the same VLAN.

Port-Based Virtual LANs (VLANs)
