4.13 Port Mirroring (Port Management menu)
The port mirroring function is accomplished by setting the following items.
Destination port: Theoretically it’s possible to set more than one destination port in a
network. Actually the port mirroring function will lower the network throughput, and
therefore it’s recommended to set”only one” destination port in a network.
Monitored packets:
(1)Disable: means this function is disabled.
(2)RX: means copy the incoming packets of the selected source port to the selected
destination port.
(3)TX: means copy the outgoing packets of the selected source port to the selected
destination port.
(4)Rx & Tx: means the combination of Rx and Tx.
Source port: the traffic source that will be copied to the destination port.
Take the following configuration as an example.
(a) Source port: Port 1 ~ Port 4.
(b) Destination Port: Port 5 ~Port 8.
(c) Mirrored packet: Rx.
This means all packets received at port 1 ~port 4 will be copied to port 5, port 6, port 7 and
port 8.Care should be taken that the more source ports and destination ports is set, the
lower network throughput is available for normal traffic.
