Active VLANs list. If you create new VLANs, they will not be passed
unless you take action to add them to the list.
5. Mirror — Specify one of the active bonds (Bondx) that is to be mirrored by
this bond (Bondy). (Figure 105) All wireless traffic received on the Array
is transmitted out both Bondx and Bondy. All traffic received on Bondx is
passed on to the onboard processor as well as out Bondy. All traffic
received on Bondy is passed on to the onboard processor as well as out
Bondx. This allows a network analyzer to be plugged into Bondy to
capture traffic for troubleshooting, while the bonded ports provide
network connectivity for data traffic.
Mirroring is also used to duplicate the traffic from one bond to another
bond — traffic received on Bondx is transmitted by Bondy; similarly,
traffic received on Bondy is transmitted by Bondx. This allows the Array
to act as a wired bridge and allows Arrays to be daisy-chained and still
maintain wired connectivity.
If each bond contains just one port as is the case for XN Arrays, then you
have the simple case of one port mirroring another.
