Enable Port Mirroring
Port mirroring lets you mirror the incoming (ingress) and outgoing (egress) traffic on a single source port to
a predefined destination port.You might need a network analyzer application to analyze the mirrored network
traffic.
Note
If you configure a port as a destination port for mirrored traffic, you might not be able
to use that port for regular traffic.
To enable port mirroring:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2.
Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.

Test a Cable Connection
You can use the cable diagnostic feature to easily find out the health status of network cables. If any problems
exist, this feature helps to quickly locate the point where the cabling fails, allowing connectivity issues to be
fixed much faster, potentially saving technicians hours of troubleshooting.
If an error is detected, the distance at which the fault is detected is stated in feet. (This is the distance from
the port.)
