GS108T disables destination port when mirroring enabled.
For years I have been using port mirroring to monitor traffic from devices while developing software. This works perfectly with my Netgear GS116v2 switch and others I have used in the past. My GS108...
It's interesting - just had a talk these days with a Netgear engineer why a mirror destination port remains active, as spotted this oddity on another new Netgear swicth. In my eyes a complete mess and not of a big practical value having both active and mirror traffic on a port for most use case.
This will become an interesting discusion now.
I suppose it depends on what you are using the switch for. For me and our development team it is a must have feature, In very simplified terms, I need to be able to use my development computer as a device and monitor traffic on remote devices while developing and debugging software. I have been doing this for many years with different switches and this Netgear is the first one I have come across that disables the mirrored port.
