Configuring Port Mirroring

Port Mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing
packets from one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or a
debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port to copy all packets, and
different ports from which the packets are copied.
To enable port mirroring:
1. Click Admin > Diagnostics > Port Mirroring. The Port Mirroring Page opens:
Port Mirroring Page
2. Click the Add button. The Add Port Mirroring Page opens:
Add Port Mirroring Page
3. Define the relevant fields.
4. Click Apply. Port mirroring is added, and the device is updated.
