3.5 Mirror

The Mirror function of the GSS-48T4SFP is used to capture data from a particular port on the

switch. Any port on the switch can be selected as the monitoring port; this port will be used to

capture data from another port on the switch using third party data capturing software. Data

can be captured from more than one port on the switch simultaneously therefore you can

have one monitoring port and several other ports being monitored by the one port.

Monitoring Port: Select the port you would like to use as the capturing port. This port will

be plugged directly to a PC running Packet Capturing software.

Monitored Port: This is the port or ports that the Monitoring Port will be capturing packets

from. Any data that is sent or received by these ports will be duplicated to

the Mirror port.

Apply Button: The Apply button must be pressed after making any changes to any of

the values on this screen.
