Configuring

ACL Mirroring

After configuring ACLs, use the Security > ACL > Configure Interface (Add Mirror)
page to mirror traffic matching an ACL from one or more source ports to a target
port 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 VLAN(s) in a completely
unobtrusive manner.
