Avaya P130 User’s Guide 5
Port Mirroring
The P130 has a built-in ”mirroring” capability, that allows forwarding of all the
traffic to/from specific ”copy source” to a ”copy destination” (also called a probe-
port or sniffer-port), excluding errors and frames with errors.
When you require detailed information about the traffic at a particular port, rather
than attaching an expensive analyzer to each port (or moving such a probe from
port to port), the network administrator may attach an external probe to any P130
port defined as a destination port and analyze any switched port by mirroring its
Rx/Tx or Tx only traffic to that destination port.
Note: Port Mirroring must be configured individually for each P130 switch.
Switch Configuration File
The Configuration File feature allows the user to read the P130 configuration
parameters and save them to a file on the station. The switch configuration
commands in the file are in CLI format. The user can edit the file (if required) and
re-configure the P130 by downloading the configuration file. Although the file can
be edited, it is recommended to keep changes to the file to a minimum.
