What is Port Mirroring?

Port Mirroring is a network feature that copies traffic from one or more source ports to a designated destination port for monitoring and analysis. This allows administrators to inspect network traffic in real-time without affecting normal data flow. On Maple Systems network switches, Port Mirroring is commonly used for troubleshooting, security monitoring, and performance analysis. It works by sending mirrored traffic to a network analyzer or intrusion detection system.
