Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring is used on a network switch to send a copy of network packets seen on one switch
port (or an entire VLAN) to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. This is
commonly used for network appliances that require monitoring of network traffic, such as an
intrusion-detection system.
Mirroring Configuration
➤
Port to Mirror to: The port that “duplicates” or “mirrors” the traffic on the source port. Only
incoming packets can be mirrored. Packets are dropped when the available egress bandwidth is
less than ingress bandwidth.
➤
Ports to Mirror: Select the ports that you want to mirror from this section of the page. A port is
mirrored when the “Mirroring Enabled” check-box is checked.
