6.9 Port Mirroring Configuration
Port monitoring is a feature to redirect the traffic occurred on every port to a designated monitoring port on the switch. With this
feature, the network administrator can monitor and analyze the traffic on the entire LAN segment. In the Managed Switch, you
can specify one port to be the monitored ports and any single port to be the monitoring port. You also can specify the direction of
the traffic that you want to monitor. After properly configured, packets with the specified direction from the monitored ports are
forwarded to the monitoring port.
The default Port Monitoring setting is disabled.
