9 Port Mirroring
There is the possibility to look for the network traffic from one or more ports on another port. For Port Mirroring two steps must
be done:
1) Define the destination port and a session number
2) Define the source port(s)
If source port(s) and destination port have the same Session number, the traffic from the source ports gets
mirrored to the destination port.

The configuration can be made in the menu
Port & VAN > SPAN > SPAN Session Destination.

so that only the traffic of the source port can be seen on the destination port.
