Port Mirroring
Port Mirroring
(OP)
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 a Netgear switch for phones only and another port on the router connected to a Zyxel switch used for PCs/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
Any help appreciated.

RE: Port Mirroring
If you need to capture P2P calls between phones connected to the switch then you'll need to do some more mirroring as is this case RTP streams won't typically flow through the main router to the PABX (although its possible depending on the configuration of the phone system).
