Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring is a method for monitoring of network traffic on switched networks. Traffic through
ports can be monitored by one specific port, which means traffic going in or out the monitored
(source) ports will be duplicated into the mirroring (destination) port.

Destination Port
: Select one port to be the destination (mirroring) port for monitoring both
RX and TX traffic coming from the source port. Or, select two ports for monitoring RX traffic
and TX traffic respectively. Users can forward the traffic captured by the mirroring port to the
packet analyzer such as Netxray for further analyses.
»
Source Port
: Select the checkbox to monitor the corresponding port. All monitored port traffic
will be copied to the mirroring (destination) port. Users can select multiple source ports by
selecting the
RX
or
TX
checkboxes.
