Introduction to Port Mirroring
Port mirroring is to copy the packets passing through one or multiple ports (called mirroring ports) to a
port (called the monitor port) on the local device. The monitor port is connected with a monitoring device.
By analyzing on the monitoring device the packets mirrored to the monitor port, you can monitor the
network and troubleshoot possible network problems.
