Chapter 6: Command Line Interface
Port Mirroring Configuration
Port monitoring is a feature to redirect the traffic occurred on every port to a
designated monitoring port on the switch. With this feature, the network
administrator can monitor and analyze the traffic on the entire LAN segment. In
the Managed Switch, you can specify one port to be the monitored ports and any
single port to be the monitoring port. You also can specify the direction of the
traffic that you want to monitor. After properly configured, packets with the
specified direction from the monitored ports are forwarded to the monitoring port.
The default Port Monitoring setting is disabled.
