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.

Open the MA Network Configuration:
-Press Setup and tap Network MA Network Configuration.

-Tap the button in the field Destination Port and select a port.
