Mirror Config
The GN-GT8S has the ability to set a pair of mirroring ports. You can monitor the port
traffic from this function.
The Mirror Config page is displayed after selecting <3> number. Press <Tab> to move
between the items and then press <Enter> to change the value.
A copy of egress (Tx) data and/or ingress (Rx) data of the monitored port is sent to their
respective snooping ports.
If you enable the port mirroring function, you should set up the monitored port (for example,
we set port 5 as monitored port as shown above) and snooping port (port 2 for example).
There are three kinds of packets you can choose to monitor: Incoming, Outgoing, and
Incoming&Outgoing.
Note:
Once the port is mirrored, that port can not be trunked.
