Figure 3-20.1: The Mirror Configuration
Parameter description:
Port to mirror on :
Port to mirror is also known as the mirror port. Frames from ports that have either source
(rx) or destination (tx) mirroring enabled are mirrored on this port. Disabled disables
mirroring.
Mirror Port Configuration
The following table is used for Rx and Tx enabling.
Port :
The logical port for the settings contained in the same row.
Mode :
Select mirror mode.
Rx only: Frames received on this port are mirrored on the mirror port. Frames transmitted
are not mirrored.
Tx only: Frames transmitted on this port are mirrored on the mirror port. Frames received
are not mirrored.
Disabled: Neither frames transmitted nor frames received are mirrored.
Enabled: Frames received and frames transmitted are mirrored on the mirror port.
NOTE: For a given port, a frame is only transmitted once. It
is therefore not possible to mirror Tx frames on the mirror
port. Because of this, the mode for the selected mirror port
is limited to Disabled or Rx only.
