III-7-1. DIAGNOSTICS PORT MIRRORING
Port Mirroring is a feature that copies the incoming or outgoing packets on one or more ports to
another destination port. It is very useful to monitor the network traffic and analyze the copied traffic.
Port Mirroring helps network management to keep a close eye on the network and debug when some
