Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring is a method for monitoring of network traffic on switched networks. Traffic
through ports can be monitored by one specific port, which means traffic going in or out
the monitored (source) ports will be duplicated into the mirroring (destination) port.


Destination Port: Select one port to be the destination (mirroring) port for
monitoring both RX and TX traffic coming from the source port. Or, select two ports
for monitoring RX traffic and TX traffic respectively. Users can forward the traffic
captured by the mirroring port to the packet analyzer like Netxray for further
analyses.

Source Port: Tick the checkbox to monitor the corresponding port. All monitored
port traffic will be copied to the mirroring (destination) port. Users can select multiple
source ports by ticking the RX or TX checkboxes.

When finished, click the Apply button.
