2-14 Mirror
You can mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis. You can then
attach a logic analyzer probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source port in
a completely unobtrusive manner.
Mirror Configuration is used to monitor the traffic of the network. For example, we assume that
Port A and Port B are Monitoring Port and Monitored Port respectively, thus, the traffic
received by Port B will be copied to Port A for monitoring.
Web Interface

1.
Click Configuration, Mirroring.
2.
Scroll to select Port to mirror on which port.
3.
Click the save to save the setting.
4.
If you want to cancel the setting then you need to click the Reset button. It will revert to
previously saved values.
