GS110TP port mirroring not working
Hi Team, Port mirroring not working not workign on gs110TP switch.As i mentioned in the screen shot , port 6 data wants to be mirrored to port 5. but as soon as i enable it , PC that connect to Po...
Thanks Eriz , Hopchecn for your support.
My issue is resolved . issue was because my PC (where i used to capture the packet) dropps the vlan packets and netgear send mirrored packets with vlan tagged.
Now i used another PC where it can accpet vlan packets and able to capture mirrored tx and RX packets.
thanks again for your support
(suggestion : pls send plane packets with vlan tag removed else people may see issue with mirrored ports)
njc,
I would like to have a follow up on this thread. Please let us know if everything works ok now or you still need further assistance.
Regards,
hi JohnCarloV

- This is perfectly normal and intended. The port you are mirroring to (also called the probe) is no longer a normal port. You will loose all connection to the network as the port no longer acts as a normal port. That is not a bug. It is a mirroring port, nothing else."when 1) i enabled Tx only and 2)then rebooted the board , then i packet to (outgoing )port 6 is mirrored to port 5 and captured in my PC."
- You should not need to reboot the switch in order for the mirror to start working! However, the mirror does work after the reboot it seems. I will have a quick look in the lab today, with a GS110TP to see the mirror only works after the switch is rebooted.
Cheers

but issue still remains , i cannot mirror both TX and RX packets .(only TX can be mirrored )
CheersHi again,
So, if I understand correctly this is the problem:
1. If you enable TX only in the port mirror settings. That works OK?
2. If you enable RX only in the port mirror settings. That does not work, you see nothing in the capture?
3. If you enable both RX and TX in the port mirror settings. That does not work, you see nothing in the capture or only TX traffic?What is important to remember is that mirrored RX means received - from the switch point of view. Incoming to the switch - so, actually TX packets from the source device. Is the source device (in port 6) generating any traffic during the packet capture? Ping 8.8.8.8, or something like that, from the source PC in port 6 - to generate traffic and you see that as RX traffic in the capture.
Cheers
