Mirroring Traffic
2
Configuration Examples
2.1 Network Requirements
As shown below, several hosts and a network analyzer are directly connected to the switch.
For network security and troubleshooting, the network manager needs to use the network
analyzer to monitor the data packets from the end hosts.
Figure 2-1 Network Topology
2.2 Configuration Scheme
To implement this requirement, you can use Mirroring feature to copy the packets from
ports 1/0/2-5 to port 1/0/1. The overview of configuration is as follows:
1) Specify ports 1/0/2-5 as the source ports, allowing the switch to copy the packets from
the hosts.
2) Specify port 1/0/1 as the destination port so that the network analyzer can receive
mirrored packets from the hosts.
Demonstrated with T1500-28PCT, the following sections provide configuration procedure
in two ways: using the GUI and using the CLI.
2.3 Using the GUI
1) Choose the menu MAINTENANCE > Mirroring to load the following page. It displays the
information of the mirroring session.
