Port Mirroring sub-tab (NSR only)

Port mirroring allows copying the traffic passing through a port to another port, to allow a remote system to analyze the packets, for instance with tcpdump or Wireshark. 

The Source port is the port where the packets will be copied from and the Destination port is the destination for the mirrored traffic. The system running tcpdump or Wireshark should be connected to the Destination port.

There is a restriction where the source and destination ports need to be in the same network card, or if the source is a built-in port (instead of a network card port), the destination also needs to be a built-in port.
