A list of Switches with Port Mirroring support

Below you will find the list of some commonly used managed switches that support port mirroring, port spanning or port monitoring functions (whatever the name is used for that function).

For some of models there are available instructions regarding how to configure port mirroring.

For other models, please, read the user's manual of the particular switch or contact the vendor for such information.

You are welcome to tell us (support@duxoft.com), if you know more such switches.

Note 2: Some of switches do not accept incoming packets on the port, which is used as a destination for port mirroring session. Because of this fact, it is necessary to install the second network adapter into a server. This secondary adapter will be used for accessing a server through a network. Read more »
