Netgear GS728TPP – 28PT GE POE+ SMART SWITCH Guia Do Administrador

The screen you access from the Mirroring menu enables you to view and configure port 
mirroring on the system.

Port mirroring selects the network traffic for analysis by a network analyzer. This is done for 
specific ports of the switch. As such, many switch ports are configured as source ports, and 
one switch port is configured as a destination port. You can configure how traffic is mirrored 
on a source port. Packets that are received on the source port, that are transmitted on a port, 
or are both received and transmitted, can be mirrored to the destination port.

The packet that is copied to the destination port is in the same format as the original packet 
on the wire. This means that if the mirror is copying a received packet, the copied packet is 
VLAN tagged or untagged as it was received on the source port. If the mirror is copying a 
transmitted packet, the copied packet is VLAN tagged or untagged as it is being transmitted 
on the source port.

You can mirror up to eight ports to a single destination port.
