4.4.5 Port Mirror

Configure port Mirroring on this Page. This function provide to monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming or
outgoing packet from one port of a network Switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep
close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.
 To debug network problems, selected traffic can be copied, or mirrored, to a mirror port where a frame analyzer can be
attached to analyze the frame flow.
 The Managed Switch can unobtrusively mirror traffic from any port to a monitor port. You can then attach a protocol analyzer or
RMON probe to this port to perform traffic analysis and verify connection integrity.
The traffic to be copied to the mirror port is selected as follows:
All frames received on a given port (also known as ingress or source mirroring).

All frames transmitted on a given port (also known as egress or destination mirroring).
