---|---|
Note: | The Switch will automatically allocate the ports follow the trunk groups, please check your VLAN setting after you have make any changes to the trunking. Or, it is recommended to setup the trunk before setup your VLAN ports. |

A switching port of a Layer 2 switch is a dedicated bandwidth. The rest switching port of the switch will have no chance to receive the packets from the port unless there is packets need to forward to another switching port.
Base the operation, the network manager will have no chance to probe the switching port unless the probe is in the switching domain.
The Switch with mirror function will help the manger to detect the switching port by the assigned monitor port. Port 1 can be used to monitor port 2 to port 12 while port 13 can be used to monitor port 14 to port 24. One port can be monitored at a time.
The following figure shows the screen in Monitor tab
The monitor mode can be used to adjust the monitor mode:
Note: | As soon as mirroring enabled, the source port, i.e. port 1 or port 13 will disable its filtering/forwarding capability and only act follow the destination port.. |
