Configuring Port Mirroring

You can 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 manner.

Command Usage

The mirror port and monitor port speeds must match, otherwise traffic
may be dropped from the monitor port.

The switch supports only one port mirror session.

The source and target port have to be either both in the port group of
1 to 12 or both in the port group of 13 to 24.

Web – Click Port, Mirror. Specify the source port, the traffic type to be
mirrored, and the target port, then click Add.

CLI – Use the interface command to select the target port, then use the
port monitor command to specify the source port. Note that default
mirroring under the CLI is for both received and transmitted packets.
