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 industrial grade 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.
