xStack DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch Port Mirroring The Switch allows you to copy frames transmitted and received on a port and redirect the copies to another port. You can attach a monitoring device to the mirrored port, such as a sniffer or an RMON probe, to view details about the packets passing through the first port. This is useful for network monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. To view the Port Mirroring window, click Administration > Port Mirroring. Figure 6- 20. Port Mirroring window To configure a mirror port: 1. Select the Target Port on the Unit to which frames will be copied, which receives the copies from the source port. 2. Select the Source Direction, Ingress, Egress, or Both and change the Status drop-down menu to Enabled. 3. Click Apply to let the changes take effect. NOTE: You cannot mirror a fast port onto a slower port. For example, if you try to mirror the traffic from a 100 Mbps port onto a 10 Mbps port, this can cause throughput problems. The port you are copying frames from should always support an equal or lower speed than the port to which you are sending the copies. Also, the target port for the mirroring cannot be a member of a trunk group. Please note a target port and a source port cannot be the same port. NOTE: Target mirror ports cannot be members of a trunking group. Attempting to do so will produce an error message and the configuration will not be set. 54
