It’s only available for WAN port. Click the <Restore Factory MAC>
button to restore the MAC address to the factory default value or
click the <Clone Current PC’s MAC> button to clone the MAC
address of the PC you are currently using to configure the Router.
Then click <Save> to apply.
Note:
To avoid a conflict of MAC address on the LAN, it’s not allowed to set the MAC address of the Router’s
LAN port to the MAC address of the current management PC.

untagged frame this Router can support is 1518 bytes long and the
maximum tagged frame is 1522 bytes long.
Oversize:
Displays the number of the received packets (including error frames) that
are longer than the maximum frame
.

Port Mirror
Port Mirror, the packets obtaining technology, functions to forward copies of packets from one/multiple
ports (mirrored port) to a specific port (mirroring port). Usually, the mirroring port is connected to a data
diagnose device, which is used to analyze the mirrored packets for monitoring and troubleshooting the
network.

General
Enable Port Mirror:
Check the box to enable the Port Mirror function. If unchecked, it will be
disabled.
Mode:
Select the mode for the port mirror function. Options include:
z
Ingress:
When this mode is selected, only the incoming packets
sent by the mirrored port will be copied to the mirroring port.
z
Egress:
When this mode is selected, only the outgoing packets sent
by the mirrored port will be copied to the mirroring port.
z
Ingress&Egress:
When this mode is selected, both the incoming
and outgoing packets through the mirrored port will be copied to the
mirroring port.

Port Mirror
Mirroring Port:
Select the Mirroring Port to which the traffic is copied. Only one port can
be selected as the mirroring port.
Mirrored Port:
Select the Mirrored Port from which the traffic is mirrored. One or multiple
ports can be selected as the mirrored ports.
The entry in Figure 4-15 indicates: The outgoing packets sent by port 1, port 2, port 3 and port 5
(mirrored ports) will be copied to port 4 (mirroring port).

Tips:
If both the mirrored port and the mirroring port are the LAN ports, these two LAN ports should be in the
same Port VLAN. For example, if port 3 (the mirroring port) and port 4 (the mirrored port) are the LAN
ports, the Port Mirror function can take effect only when port 3 and port 4 are in the same Port VLAN.
Application Example:
To monitor all the traffic and analyze the network abnormity for an enterprise’s network, please set the
Port Mirror function as below:
1)
Check the box before
Enable Port Mirror
to enable the Port Mirror function and select the
Ingress & Egress
mode.
2)
Select Port 3 to be the
Mirroring Port to monitor all the packets of the other ports.
3)
Select all the other ports to be the Mirrored Ports.
4)
Click the <Save> button to apply.

The first entry in Figure 4-16 indicates: The Ingress and Egress Limits are enabled for port 1. The
Ingress and Egress Rates are 1Mbps. That is, the receiving rate for all the ingress packets will not
exceed 1Mbps, and the transmitting rate for all the egress packets will not exceed 1Mbps.
