Mirror Ports of the MA Network Switch

In port mirroring, the entire traffic that arrives at a port is mirrored onto a mirror port of the MA Network Switch. 

Port mirroring is most commonly used in debugging or for the analysis of the network traffic such as the network load. 

Important:
The MA Network Switch mirrors several source ports to one destination port. Vice versa, it is possible to set a single destination port at a time. 

Requirement:

To mirror ports:

  1. Open the MA Network Configuration:
    -Press Setup and tap Network MA Network Configuration.
    -The window MA Network Configuration opens.

  1. Tap Network Switch.
  2. Tap a cell in the row of the MA Network Switch you would like to edit and tap Port Mirror.
    -The pop-up Configure MA Network Switch Port Mirrors opens.

Hint:
A port is never destination and source at the same time.
