The page includes the following fields:
Object
Description
• Port to mirror to
Frames from ports that have either source or destination mirroring enabled are mirrored
to this port. Disabled option disables mirroring.
• Switch to mirror to
Frames from ports that have either source (rx) or destination (tx) mirroring enabled are
mirrored to this switch.
•
Port
The logical port for the settings contained in the same row.
Select mirror mode.
Rx only
: Frames received at this port are mirrored to the mirroring port. Frames
transmitted are not mirrored.
Tx only
: Frames transmitted from this port are mirrored to the mirroring port. Frames
received are not mirrored.
Disabled
: Neither frames transmitted or frames received are mirrored.
•
Mode
Enabled
: Frames received and frames transmitted are mirrored to the mirror port.
Buttons
: Click to save changes.
: Click to undo any changes made locally and revert to previously saved values.
Link Aggregation
Port Aggregation optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single Link Aggregated Groups (LAGs). Port
Aggregation multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases port flexibility, and provides link redundancy.
Each LAG is composed of ports of the same speed, set to full-duplex operations. Ports in a LAG, can be of different media types
(UTP/Fiber, or different fiber types), provided they operate at the same speed.
Aggregated Links can be assigned manually (Port Trunk) or automatically by enabling Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
on the relevant links.
Aggregated Links are treated by the system as a single logical port. Specifically, the Aggregated Link has similar port attributes to a
non-aggregated port, including auto-negotiation, speed, Duplex setting, etc.
The device supports the following Aggregation links :
Static LAGs
(Port Trunk) – Force aggregared selected ports to be a trunk group.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) LAGs - LACP LAG negotiate Aggregated Port links with other LACP ports
located on a different device. If the other device ports are also LACP ports, the devices establish a LAG between them.
