Port Mirroring - EnGenius EGS2108P User Manual

Port Mirroring

Port Mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by
forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from
one port to a monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used
as a diagnostic tool as well as a debugging feature. Port
mirroring is needed for traffic analysis on a switch because
a switch normally sends packets only to the port to which
the destination device is connected.
To access the page, click Port Mirroring under the L2
