Mirror Settings
This window is used to view and configure the mirror feature’s settings. The Switch allows users to
copy frames transmitted and received on a port and redirect the copies to another port. Attach a
monitoring device to the mirroring port, such as a sniffer, to view details about the packets passing
through the first port. This is useful for network monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
