Port Mirroring

From the Port Mirroring page, you can configure up to nine port mirror sessions by setting source and destination port pairs. Port mirroring helps you debug a
network.
NOTICE: All mirror sessions have to share the same destination port. The source and destination port have to be either both in the port range of 1 to
24 or both in the port range of 25 to 48, 50.
The following options are available:
Sessions Table — Displays a list of previous port mirror sessions
l
Source Port — Specifies the port from which all traffic will be mirrored to the destination port
l
Type — Allows you to select which traffic to mirror to the destination port: Rx, Tx, or Both
l
Destination Port — Specifies the port that receives a copy of all traffic that the source port receives
l
To add a new mirror session to the Sessions Table, click the source port, destination port, and traffic type, and then click Add Mirror Session. To delete a
mirror session, click the session in the Sessions Table, and then click Remove Mirror Session.
NOTE: The mirror port and destination port speeds must match. Otherwise, traffic may be dropped from the destination port.
