Mirror Setting
Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that
forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from
one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can
be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch
performance and alter it if necessary.
Configuring the port mirroring by assigning a source port from
which to copy all packets and a sniffer port where those packets
will be sent.
The selections of the sniffer mode are as follows:
TX (transmit) mode: This mode will duplicate the data transmitted
from the source port and forward it to the sniffer port.
RX (receive) mode: This mode will duplicate the data sent to the
source and forward it to the sniffer port.
Both (transmit and receive) mode: This mode will duplicate both
the data transmitted from and data sent to the source port, and
then it will forward the data to the sniffer port.
