Enabling Port Mirroring in Control Expert
You can use the port mirroring service to duplicate the traffic entering and exiting any one of the four Ethernet ports (the source port) onto another one of the ports (the destination port), for the purpose of diagnosing the source port.
NOTE:
  • Verify that the port mirroring service is enabled in Control Expert before configuring it in the web pages.
  • You can designate only non-RSTP enabled ports as the destination port.
  • The port mirroring configuration settings are transient, and are cleared when you reboot the Ethernet communication module.
