Port trunking is the ability to group several ports to increase the aggregate bandwidth
between this switch and another compatible switch. This is an inexpensive way to increase
bandwidth between switch or routers. The switch can support up to 4 trunk groups with the
aggregation complying with the standard IEEE802.1ad, which enables inter-operation of
switches from different vendors.
See The Trunk Configuration Menu on page 31 for details.

Port Mirror will send all frames from a specific port to a target port. This can be used to assist
in the location of network errors or erroneous packet transfers without interrupting the flow of
data across the network.

•
Choose the monitored port in " Source Port "
•
Choose the corresponding target module, port in “Target Port" choice box.
•
Click the corresponding "Enabled" check box.
•
