Configuring Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing
packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or a
debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and
different ports from which the packets are copied.
