Switch Mirror Configuration
The router supports traffic mirroring on the Ethernet switch. Port mirroring "mirrors" the traffic on one (or more)
Ethernet ports to a target (or capture) port where the traffic can be studied. This is useful for unobtrusive
monitoring of network traffic for the purposes of detecting intrusions, diagnosing problems, or monitoring
switch performance. When configuring port mirroring, you must specify both the port or ports to monitor and
the port that will mirror the traffic on the monitored ports.
To configure port traffic mirroring:
1. Click Mirror/Capture Configuration from the left navigation pane of the Switch Status page. This displays
the Switch Mirror Configuration page.
2. Under Mirror Port, select one or more of the mapped ports (or source ports) you want to mirror.
3. Under Capture Port, select the port to receive the Ethernet traffic for all mirrored ports.
4. For Mirror Feature, click Enable or Disable to enable or disable mirroring.
5. Click Apply.
