Using a Mirror Port for Analysis
You can mirror traffic from any source port to port 8 for real-time analysis. You can then attach a
logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source port in a
completely unobtrusive manner. When mirroring port traffic, note that the target port must be
included in the same VLAN as the source port.
You can use the Mirror Configuration Port screen to mirror one or any ports to the port 8 as shown
below. The default is that port mirroring is disabled.
