This is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. A network administrator uses port mirroring as a diagnostic tool or debugging feature, especially when fending off an attack. It enables the administrator to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary. Port mirroring can be managed locally or remotely. An administrator configures port mirroring by assigning a port from which to copy all packets and another port where those packets will be sent. A B-12 202-10010-01 Glossary

Open Systems Interconnection
OSI is a seven (7) layer architecture model for communications systems developed by the ISO for the
interconnection of data communications systems. Each layer uses and builds on the services provided by
those below it.
