Monitor Port - The port that will duplicate the transmitted or received
traffic appearing on the mirrored port.

Port Trunking Configuration
Ports can be combined into an aggregate link to increase the bandwidth of
a network connection or ensure fault recovery. You can configure trunks
between any two switches. The RJ-45 ports on this Switch can be grouped
into a trunk consisting of two, four, or eight ports, creating an aggregate
bandwidth up to 400, 800, or 1600Mbps when operating at full duplex.
Index - The trunk identifier.
Port Count - Trunks can contain 2, 4, or 8 ports.
Port Number - The ports assigned to each trunk.

Mirror Port Configuration
The Mirror Port Configuration screen allows you to mirror traffic from any
source port to a target port for real-time analysis. You can then attach a logic
analyzer or RMON probe to the target port and study the traffic crossing the
source port in a completely unobtrusive manner. When mirroring port traf-
fic, the target port must be included in the same VLAN as the source port.
Enable Port Mirror - Enables or disables the mirror function.
Mirrored Ports (Tx/Rx) - The port whose transmitted or received traffic
will be mirrored. Press Add to specify mirrored ports.
