Usage Guidelines
Port-mirroring configures the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports to a monitor
port on the switch. The monitor port can be connected to a network analyzer or RMON probe for
packet analysis. The switch uses a traffic filter that copies a group of traffic to the monitor port.
Up to eight mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured on the switch. After a port has
been specified as a monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function. Frames that contain errors are
not mirrored.
Example
