Recommendation
Schneider Electric recommends implementing port mirroring as follows:
z A destination or mirror port should be used only for port mirroring; it should not be
used for any other purpose. Only the PC with packet sniffer should be connected
to the mirroring port.
z When configuring the switch, be sure that port mirroring is designed to forward
packets—e.g., incoming, outgoing, or both—to meet your requirements.
z A packet sniffer’s troubleshooting features should include the capabilities of
analyzing network problems and monitoring network activity.
