Port Mirroring

From the Port Mirroring page, you can enable or disable port mirroring. You can also set the source port and monitor port. Port mirroring can be used to debug network problems or project future resource requirements.

The following options are available:

• Sessions Table — Displays the previous port mirror session (i.e., only one session allowed).
• Source Port — Port from which traffic will be mirrored to the monitor port.
• Type — Allows you to select which traffic to mirror to the monitor port, Rx/Tx, Rx, or TX
• Monitor Port — Port that receives a copy of the traffic crossing the source port.

To add a new mirror session to the Sessions Table, select the source port, monitor port, and traffic type, then click Add Mirror Session. To delete a mirror session, select the session in the Sessions Table, then click Remove Mirror Session.

NOTE: The mirror port and monitor port speeds must match, otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.
