Mirror Settings Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary. Configuring the port mirroring by assigning a source port from which to copy all packets and a sniffer port where those packets will be sent. The selections of the sniffer mode are as follows: TX (transmit) mode: This mode will duplicate the data transmitted from the source port and forward it to the sniffer port. RX (receive) mode: This mode will duplicate the data sent to the source and forward it to the sniffer port. Both (transmit and receive ) mode: This mode will duplicate both the data transmitted from and data sent to the source port, then it will forward the data to the sniffer port. Figure 21. 34

Port Mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic that forwards
a copy of each incoming and/or outgoing packet from one port of a
network switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It
enables the manager to keep close track of switch performance and
alter it if necessary.
Configuring the port mirroring by assigning a source port from which
to copy all packets and a sniffer port where those packets will be sent.
The selections of the sniffer mode are as follows:
TX (transmit) mode:
This mode will duplicate the data transmitted
from the source port and forward it to the sniffer port.
RX (receive) mode:
This mode will duplicate the data sent to the
source and forward it to the sniffer port.
Both (transmit and receive ) mode:
This mode will duplicate both
the data transmitted from and data sent to the source port, then it will
forward the data to the sniffer port.
