Mirror Settings
Mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from specific
ports to a monitoring port. The packet that is copied to the monitoring port will be the same
format as the original packet.
Port mirroring is useful for network monitoring and can be used as a diagnostic tool. Use port
mirroring to send traffic to applications that analyze traffic for purposes such as monitoring
compliance, detecting intrusions, monitoring and predicting traffic patterns, and other correlating
events. Port Mirroring is needed for traffic analysis on a Switch because a Switch normally sends
packets only to the port to which the destination device is connected. The analyzer captures and
evaluates the data without affecting the client on the original port. Port mirroring can consume
significant CPU resources while active, so be cautious of such usage when configuring the
Switch.
