Port Mirroring
Description
Port mirroring is a useful diagnostic tool because it allows you to send a
copy of the good Ethernet frames transmitted or received on one port to
another port. On the second port you can attach a protocol analyzer to
capture and analyze the data without interfering with the client on the
original port.
Source Port: Indicates the port whose traffic you want to mirror (press
z).
Target Port: Selects a port to receive the mirrored traffic (press z).
If you are using a protocol analyzer, connect it to this port.
State: Enables or disables port's mirror (press z).
