Mirror
This function provide to monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming or outgoing packet from one port
of a network Switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch
performance and alter it if necessary. The Mirror screen in Figure 3-27 appears. Configuring the port mirroring by assigning
a source port from which to copy all packets and a sniffer port where those packets will be sent. The selection of the sniffer
mode is as follow:
RX (receive) mode:
this mode will duplicate the data which the source port received and forward to the sniffer port.
TX (transmit) mode:
this mode will duplicate the data which the source port transmitted and forward to the sniffer port.
BOTH (receive and transmit) mode:
this mode will duplicate the data which the source port transmitted and received and
forward to the sniffer port.
