DGS-3100 Series Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch User Manual
Configuring Port Mirroring
Switches inherently forward frames to relevant ports only. This creates difficulty when traffic needs to be monitored, either
for information gathering (such as statistical analysis, security traces, etc.) or for troubleshooting higher-layer protocol
operation. The device supports up to 8 source ports.
To enable the use of traffic analysis and monitoring devices, it is recommended enabling the user to specify that a desired
‘target’ port receives a copy of all traffic passing through a designated ‘source’ port.
In order to activate Port Mirroring, the target port must belong to the default VLAN.
