Mirroring

5.5.5.1

General

On this page, you can enable or disable the mirroring function and make the basic settings.
Note
It cannot be guaranteed when mirroring the data traffic that all packets are mirrored. This
depends primarily on the load on the mirrored ports and on the number of sessions. To
achieve maximum precision, a limit of one session is recommended.
Note the data rate
If the maximum data rate of the mirrored port is higher than that of the monitor port, data
may be lost and the monitor port no longer reflects the data traffic at the mirrored port.
Several ports can be mirrored to one monitor port at the same time.
Several source ports from the same VLAN
If in a VLAN you select more than one source port for the port-based egress mirroring,
unknown unicast and multicast frames as well as broadcast frames are forwarded only once
to the destination port.
