Configuring Port Mirroring
Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and
outgoing packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as a diagnostic
tool as well as a debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators can configure up to eight ports for port mirroring. The switch is capable of
mirroring all transmitted packets; all received packets; or all packets, both transmitted and
received.
Network administrators can configure port mirroring by selecting specific ports from which to
copy packets, and other ports to which the packets are copied.
