Port Mirroring
This introduces the port mirroring or port sniffer feature of the switch.

11.1 Introduction

You can monitor traffic on the ports by duplicating or mirroring the traffic to a port. You
can monitor input traffic, output traffic or both. A port that mirrors the traffic of other
ports is the analysis port or the sniffer port. A port whose traffic is analyzed is the
monitor port or the source port.
You can configure up to nine monitor ports but only one mirror port.
