Figure 7- 8. Setup Port Mirroring window
The target port is where information will be duplicated and sent for capture and network analysis. A network analyzer would
be attached to this port to capture packets duplicated from the source port.
It should be noted that a faster port (a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet port, for example) should not be mirrored to a slower port
(one of the 48 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports), because many packets will be dropped.
The following fields can be set:
Parameter
