Port Mirroring

From the Port Mirroring page, you can configure a port mirror session by setting a source and destination port pair. Port mirroring helps you debug a

network.



The following options are available:

l Sessions Table — Displays the current port mirror session

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 or transmits



To add a new mirror session to the Sessions Table, first delete the current mirror session by selecting the session in the table and clicking Remove Mirror

Session. Select the new source port, destination port, and traffic type, and then click Add Mirror Session.


