Port Mirroring - D-Link xStack DGS-3600 User Manual

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 Administration folder.
To configure a mirror port:
1. Select the Source Port from where you want to copy frames and the Target Port, which receives the copies from the
source port.
2. Select the Source Direction, Ingress, Egress, or Both and change the Status drop-down menu to Enabled.
3. Click Apply to let the changes take effect.
