Port Mirroring

Port mirroring is a method to monitor traffic in switched networks. This is

accomplished by mirroring the traffic going in and out of the monitored ports

to a specifically designated port (the mirror port).

1. Port Mirroring Mode: Sets the mirror mode. Select disable to disable

port mirroring. Select TX to monitor data being transmitted by a port.

Select both to monitor port data being transmitted and received by a

port. The default value is “Disable”.

2. Analysis Port: This is the port used to see all monitored port traffic

(This port can be connected to a LAN analyzer or Netxray).

3. Monitor Port: Check the box to monitor the port. Up to 4 ports can be

designated as monitor ports.

[NOTE]

If the configuration is not saved, it will be lost when the port is

powered off.
