Network Monitoring Port

You can designate a port for monitoring traffic on any one of the other ports
on the switch. This is accomplished by copying all traffic from the specified
port to the designated monitoring port. The feature is also referred to as
"mirroring".

2. In the Actions menu, press [E] (for Edit).
