Port Mirroring
Configure port mirroring on this page. To debug network problems, selected traffic can be
copied, or mirrored, to a mirror port where a frame analyzer can be attached to analyze the frame
flow. The traffic to be copied to the mirror port is selected as follows:
»
All frames received on a given port (also known as ingress or source mirroring).
»
All frames transmitted on a given port (also known as egress or destination mirroring).
»
Port to mirror also known as the mirror port. Frames from ports that have either source (rx) or
destination (tx) mirroring enabled are mirrored to this port. Disabled disables mirroring.

Description
Port
The logical port for the settings contained in the same row.
Mode
Select mirror mode.
Rx only: Frames received at this port are mirrored to the mirror port. Frames transmitted
are not mirrored.
Tx only: Frames transmitted from this port are mirrored to the mirror port. Frames
received are not mirrored.
Disabled: Neither frames transmitted nor frames received are mirrored.
Enabled: Frames received and frames transmitted are mirrored to the mirror port.
Note: For a given port, a frame is only transmitted once. It is therefore not possible to mirror
Tx frames for the mirror port. Because of this, mode for the selected mirror port is limited to
Disabled or Rx only.
