Configuring Port Mirroring

Use the Mirror Configuration page to mirror traffic from any source port to a target port for real-time analysis.
You can then attach a logic analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the source
port in a completely unobtrusive manner (FIG. 108).
FIG. 108 Port Mirroring

Command Usage

General port mirroring configured on the Mirror Configuration page and ACL-based port mirroring are
implemented independently. When port mirroring is enabled on the Mirror Configuration page by setting the
destination port in the Port to mirror on field, and enabling the Mode for any port, mirroring will occur
regardless of any configuration settings made on the ACL Ports Configuration page (see the Filtering Traffic
With Access Control Lists section on page 71) or the ACE Configuration page (see the Configuring Access
Control Lists section on page 72).

Configuring UPNP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of protocols that allows devices to connect seamlessly and simplifies
the deployment of home and office networks. UPnP achieves this by issuing UPnP device control protocols
designed upon open, Internet-based communication standards.
The first step in UPnP networking is discovery. When a device is added to the network, the UPnP discovery
protocol allows that device to broadcast its services to control points on the network. Similarly, when a control
point is added to the network, the UPnP discovery protocol allows that control point to search for UPnP
enabled devices on the network.
Once a control point has discovered a device its next step is to learn more about the device and its capabilities
by retrieving the device's description from the URL provided by the device in the discovery message. After a
control point has retrieved a description of the device, it can send actions to the device's service. To do this, a
control point sends a suitable control message to the control URL for the service (provided in the device
description).
140
The destination port that will mirror the traffic from the source port. All mirror ses-
sions must share the same destination port. (Default: Disabled)
The port whose traffic will be monitored.
Specifies which traffic to mirror to the target port. (Options: Disabled, Enabled
(receive and transmit), Rx only (receive), Tx only (transmit); Default: Disabled)
