Netgear GS110TP - Port Mirroring
I have been asked to configure port mirroring on this switch for Call recording on a hosted telephone system. My IT knowledge is limited so please be gentle.
I have a port on the Broadband/Phone router connected to the Netgear switch for phones only and another port on the router connected to a Zyxel switch used for PC use for internet. This works fine. I had to separate the switches as I believe that the mirroring would pull data traffic from the PCs and clog up the call recording info etc.
On my netgear switch the ports in use are:
P1. Link to the main router
P2. Phone
P3. Phone
P4. Phone
P5. Phone
P6. Phone
P7. Call Recording PC
Am i correct by configuring the port mirroring as follows:
Source Port: G1
Destination Port: G7
Session Mode: Enable
Direction: TX & RX
Mirroring Port: Mirror
From the graphic attached, is G1 configured to mirror traffic to G7?
Hi Schumaku,
Thanks for your reply. I am not planning to use G2 for mirroring. That was programmed by trial which I cant delete now. I plan to only mirror G1 to G7
all voice traffic goes through G1 so if i mirror this to G7 (Which is the call recorder) then i should be ok? The customer only has 5 phones so i dont think if all phones were in use then this would be an issue.

Yes, however both g1 and g2 are mirrored to g7 - if there is more data than the one mirror GbE port can take, there will be data loss of course.
In this switch class, only local ports can be mirrored - for most applications that's OK..

Just mark the second entry on the left, and use [Delete] should get rid of the entry.AS long this is not enabled, that won't hurt. And no worries, VoIP is not very bandwidth intensive.
