Mirroring

5.5.7.1

General

Note
It cannot be guaranteed when mirroring the data traffic that all packets are mirrored. This
depends primarily on the load on the mirrored ports and on the number of sessions. To achieve
maximum precision, a limit of one session is recommended.
Mirroring in general
On this page, you can enable or disable the "Mirroring" function and make the basic settings.
Note
Mirroring a port does not work beyond switch core boundaries. Refer to the operating
instructions of the device.
Note
You need to disable port mirroring if you want to connect a normal end device to the monitor
port. This does not apply to the function extender BUS ANALYZER Agent XM-400.
Note the data rate
If the maximum data rate of the mirrored port is higher than that of the monitor port, data may
be lost and the monitor port no longer reflects the data traffic at the mirrored port. Several ports
can be mirrored to one monitor port at the same time.
