Port Mirroring
Port mirroring is used for duplicating the traffic of a port (or ports) to another port
for the purpose of traffic and/or network monitoring.

Figure 4-37. Port Mirroring Window
Following is a high-level description for each field in the window:
Mirror Port
The Mirror Port values represent the two external Ethernet ports of the EVIC.
When a Mirror Port is enabled, traffic from a monitored port is sent out the
Mirror Port. For example, if the mirror state for mirror port 1 is enabled, and
the monitor port field for mirror port 1 has a value of 2, then traffic sent and
received on ports 2 is sent out port 1 (that may have some form of traffic
monitoring device attached).
Mirror State
Mirroring can be enabled or disabled on a port.
Monitor Port
External port(s) whose traffic is duplicated to another port (i.e., the Mirror
Port) for network monitoring. The selections are one or two.
NOTE:The monitor port must be a port different then the mirror port (e.g., port
1 cannot monitor itself).
