3.13 Port Mirroring Configuration
Port mirroring allows you to configure the switch to copy all traffic associated with one port (the Monitor Port)
to a Mirror Port on the switch. You can connect the Mirror Port to a network analyzer or RMON probe for
packet analysis. You can configure the Monitor Port to send either transmitted or received traffic to the
Mirror Port.
