Object Description
Port to mirror also known as the mirror port. Frames from ports that have either source
(rx) or destination (tx) mirroring enabled are mirrored on this port. Disabled disables
mirroring.
 Port to mirror on
The logical port for the settings contained in the same row, * means selection of all ports
of Managed Switch.

Port
Select mirror mode. 
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 nor frames received are mirrored.

Both : Frames received and frames transmitted are mirrored to the mirror port.
For a given port, a frame is only transmitted once. It is therefore not possible to mirror Tx frames on
the mirror port. Because of this, mode for the selected mirror port is limited to Disabled or Rx only.

4.5 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.
