17.1 Configure Port Mirroring
Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of

also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators can configure port mirroring by selecting a specific port
from which to copy all packets, and other ports to which the packets copied.
Follow these steps to configure the port mirroring feature:
1. Log into the configuration manager, click ―Monitoring‖ menu and then

Configuration Page. See Figure 17.1.
