Port Mirroring
The Switch allows you to copy frames transmitted and received on a port and redirect the copies to another port. You can attach a
monitoring device to the mirrored port, such as a sniffer or an RMON probe, to view details about the packets passing through the
first port. This is useful for network monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
To view the
Port Mirroring
window, click

in the

folder.
Figure 7- 24. Port Mirroring window
To configure a mirror port:
1. Use the radio button to change the Target Port Settings Status to Enabled.
2. Use the drop-down menu to select the
Target Port to which frames will be copied, which receives the copies from the
source port
3. Select the Source Port Setting Direction, Tx (Egress), Rx (Ingress), Both, or None.
4. Click
Apply
to let the changes take effect.
NOTE:
You cannot mirror a fast port onto a slower port. For example, if you try to mirror the
traffic from a 100 Mbps port onto a 10 Mbps port, this can cause throughput problems. The port
you are copying frames from should always support an equal or lower speed than the port to
which you are sending the copies. Also, the target port for the mirroring cannot be a member of
a trunk group. Please note a target port and a source port cannot be the same port.
NOTE:
Target mirror ports cannot be members of a trunking group. Attempting to do so will
produce an error message and the configuration will not be set.
