Mirror Configuration
Use the Mirror Configuration tab to configure the rules or filters for port
mirroring. Optional filters can be configured to capture packets from certain
devices (MAC addresses). You can also configure filters to capture packets with a
specified destination address. Port mirroring is disabled by default.
Once the mirror configuration is complete, you can look at the packets with
Ethernet protocol analyzer software.
To configure port mirroring, use this procedure.
1. From the navigation pane, expand the Switch Configuration folder and
select Mirror Configuration to display the Mirror Configuration tab.
IMPORTANT
Port mirrroring is a diagnostic tool. Disable this feature while running in a
production environment.
IMPORTANT
For the 4-port switch, port mirroring and IGMP snooping are mutually
exclusive. When port mirroring is enabled, IGMP snooping is disabled.
For the 8-port switch, port mirroring and IGMP can be used simultaneously in
the 8-port switch. However, filtering is not available.
