Layer 3 Management 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Port Trunking Configuration
From the screen shown in Figure 6-22, ports can be combined into an aggre-
gate link to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or ensure fault
recovery. You can configure trunks between any two switches. The RJ-45
ports on this Switch can be grouped into a trunk consisting of two or four
creating an aggregate bandwidth up to 400 or 800Mbps when operating at
full duplex.
• Index - The trunk identifier.
• Port Count - Trunks can contain two or four ports.
• Port Number - The ports assigned to each trunk.
Select OK to return to the previous panel. Select Add to add a trunk. To delete
a trunk group, highlight the trunk group and press the Enter key.

Mirror Port Configuration
The Mirror Port Configuration screen, shown in Figure 6-21, allows you to
mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis.
You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and
study the traffic crossing the source port in a completely unobtrusive man-
ner. When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the
same VLAN as the source port.
• Port Mirroring - Enables or disables the mirror function.
• Mirroring Mode - Allows you to set the port to RX_MODE for receive or
TX_Mode for transmit.
• Mirror Port (Tx/Rx) - The port whose transmitted or received traffic
will be mirrored.
• Monitor Port - The port that will duplicate the transmitted or received
traffic appearing on the mirrored port.
Select Apply to make changes. Select OK to return to the previous panel.
Select Add to add a port.
