5.5 Mirror Port Configuration
The switch supports port monitoring. This feature provides a
complete network monitoring capability for each port. A copy of
egress (Tx) data and ingress (Rx) data of the monitored port is
sent to their respective snooping ports.
The monitored port configuration function allows us to monitor
the port traffic. We can press <Enter> to enable or disable the
function. If you enable the port mirroring function, you should
set up the monitored port (for example, we set port 3 as
monitored port as shown above) and snooping port (port 1 for
example). There are three kinds of packets you can choose to
monitor: Incoming, Outgoing and Incoming&Outgoing. Press
<Enter> to select the kind of packets you want to monitor.
