4.3.4 Port Mirroring
Configure Port Mirroring on this page. This function provides monitoring of network traffic that forwards a
copy of each incoming or outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the
packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if
necessary.
To debug network problems, selected traffic can be copied, or mirrored, to a mirror port where a
frame analyzer can be attached to analyze the frame flow.
The Managed Switch can unobtrusively mirror traffic from any port to a monitor port. You can then
attach a protocol analyzer or RMON probe to this port to perform traffic analysis and verify
connection integrity.
