GS348T no access after port mirroring

Hello,

my laptop is connected to port g39.

After set up port mirroring to port g39 it's no more possible to connect to webadmin.

If I connect to port g38 it's possible again.

Why?

Re: GS348T no access after port mirroring

Hallo Benji,

 

Your mirroring is either configured the wrong way round, or there is a misunderstanding on how port mirroring works. g39 is configured as a mirroring destination "Probe" port (where the probe is connected) for Tx and Tx data of port g5 what is the port you want to monitor, thus "Mirrored".

 

The mirror destination (probe port) can no longer be used as an access port to connect to the network. Should you intend to capture or evaluate data of port g5 on your notebook, you need a second network adapter to access the network, including the switch, the LAN, the Internet, ... for the obvious reasons, the mirrored and normal traffic can't be merged onto one port.
