Port Sniffer

The Port Sniffer (mirroring) is a method for monitor traffic in switched networks. Traffic through a port can be monitored by one
specific port. This is done by duplicating the traffic through the monitored port on another (sniffer) port.

Configuring the port mirroring by assigning a source port from which to copy all packets and a destination port where those
packets will be sent.
