Mirror Setting

Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards
a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a
network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It
enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and
alter it if necessary.

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