Port Mirroring

The Switch allows you to copy frames transmitted and received on a port and redirect the copies to
another port. You can attach a monitoring device to the mirrored port, such as a sniffer or an RMON
probe, to view details about the packets passing through the first port. This is useful for network
monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. To view the Port Mirroring window, click Port Mirroring
in the Configuration folder.
