Network Configuration

While different brands and models of network switches have unique methods of configuration, setting up network mirroring usually involves accessing the network port settings through the network switch’s administration portal. One port is selected to be the destination port for the mirrored packets; this port might be selected by default, or the port might be selectable by the administrator. The destination port is the port to which the QMS server’s capture network interface card (NIC) is connected. After setting up the destination port, the source ports from which network traffic will be mirrored must have mirroring enabled. The source ports will be ports to which the Innovaphone IP phones are connected. Refer to the network switch’s administration manual for more specific details on configuring port mirroring for the switch.
