How do I specify the source (mirrored) ports and destinations (probe) using the web interface on my managed switch?
The port mirroring feature:
• Allows you to monitor network traffic with an external network analyzer.
• Forwards a copy of each incoming and outgoing packet to a specific port.
• Is used as a diagnostic tool, debugging feature, or means of fending off attacks.
• Assigns a specific port to copy all packets to.
• Allows inbound or outbound packets to switch to their destination and to be copied to the mirrored port.
1. Select Monitoring > Mirroring > Port Mirroring.
A screen similar to the following displays.
2. Scroll down and select the Source Port 1/0/2 check box.
The value 1/0/2 now appears in the Interface field at the top.
3. Enter the following information:
o In the Destination Port field, enter 1/0/3.
o In the Session Mode field, select Enable.
4. Click Apply.
