Configuration of Port Mirroring
The DELL PowerConnect 2800 Series of network switch has an Unmanaged Mode, a Managed Mode and
a Secure Mode. By default, a new switch will be in Unmanaged Mode. In this mode there is no web
interface to configure the switch. The switch must be in Management Mode to configure. To change the
switch to Managed Mode, press the Mode button for up to 7 seconds.
Connect a computer to switch and put the computer into the same subnet as the switch. By default, the
switch IP Address is 192.168.2.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Enter in the username and
password when prompted. The default username is Admin and has no password.
Once the interface is open, expand the Switch menu on the left, and then expand the Ports menu. From
the list select Port Mirroring.
Select Add to open the “Add Source Port” page.
Set the Destination Port from the drop down list. This is the port the Recording Computer will listen to
traffic on and record calls. Por
ts are listed with a preceding ‘g’.
For example, port 1 will show as g1.
Set Source Port from the drop down list. This is the port on the switch that leads back to a PBX or
internet connection but it needs to be a port that will see all VOIP traffic.
Se
t Type to “Tx and Rx” from the drop down list. By setting it to “Tx and Rx” the switch will
copy all
received and sent traffic to the destination port. If it is not set to this, only one party of call will be
recorded.
Press Apply Changes.
