Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring commands are used to configure, enable, and disable the monitor port. When
enabled, network packets being sent and/or received on a target port are duplicated and sent to
the monitor port. By attaching a network analyzer to the monitor port, you can collect detailed
information about your network performance and usage. The switch supports up to four
monitor ports.
Port mirroring is disabled by default. For more information about port mirroring on the
switch, see “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” in the RackSwitch G8000 Application Guide.
