Due to an ASIC limitation, the enforced rate limits are slightly less than
the listed options. For example: 1 Kpps translates into an enforced
threshold of 1002.1 pps.

Use the Mirror Configuration page to mirror
traffic from any source port to a target port for
real-time analysis. You can then attach a logic
analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and
study the traffic crossing the source port in a
completely unobtrusive manner.
