VLAN

VLAN sources of the port mirroring
You can only configure the settings on this page if you have already generated a session ID
with the session type "VLAN" on the "General" tab.
On this page, you specify the VLAN whose incoming data traffic will be mirrored to the monitor
port.
It can happen that data packets are visible on the monitor port that were not received in the
defined VLAN. These data packets come from functions that are enabled on the device, e.g.
SIMATIC time client. To avoid these data packets when VLAN mirroring, disable the relevant
functions on the device before a recording.
Description of the displayed boxes
The page contains the following boxes:
● Session ID
Select the session you want to monitor. Only one session is possible.
● VLAN ID
Enter the VLAN ID in the "VLAN ID" input box.
