Port Configuration:
Port configuration displays configuration allowed per port to execute mirror function.
This field allows defining source, intermediate and destination ports and defining if all
traffic, only TX or only RX traffic should be mirrored. Possible configurations are as
follows.
Port: shows ports to be configured at this row;
o
Source: indicates if port is a source port and what kind of traffic is
o
being mirrored. This field is only allowed if switch is operating in

Intermediate ports are ports that connect switches performing
remote mirroring. Checkbox selected means that port will operate
as intermediate port, that is, source traffic of this port will be a
Reflector port or another Intermediate port. Checkbox empty
means port will not operate as intermediate port, that is, port will
operate normally with no mirroring (if also destination is disabled)
or port will operate as destination port;
Destination: enable the port to operate as Destination port.
o
Destination ports are ports that connect the Destination (RMIrror)
switch performing remote mirroring to the end station, that is, the
traffic analyser. Checkbox selected means that port will operate as
destination port, that is, source traffic of this port will be a Reflector
port or another Intermediate port. Checkbox empty means port will
not operate as intermediate port, that is, port will operate normally
with no mirroring (if also intermediate is disabled) or port will
operate as intermediate port;
Disabled: indicates that port is not being mirrored, that is,
port is operating normally and no traffic mirroring from
this port is being performed;
Both: indicates that port is being mirrored and all traffic
(received and transmitted frames) are being mirrored;
Rx Only: indicates that port is being mirrored and Rx
traffic (received frames) are being mirrored;
Tx Only: indicates that port is being mirrored and Tx
traffic (transmitted frames) are being mirrored;
