Port Mirroring

In this user interface, you can configure the port mirroring of the Ethernet interface board. Then, you can use the port mirroring to perform packet monitoring, daily maintenance and in-service commissioning.

Context

The service mirroring function complies with universal standards followed by the telecommunication industry. When this function is enabled, other devices or instruments that receive mirrored service packets may need to analyze some information of end users' communications based on the requirements for operation and maintenance. Huawei alone is unable to collect or save the content of users' communications. It is suggested that you activate the interception-related functions based on the applicable laws and regulations in terms of purpose and scope of usage. You are obligated to take considerable measures to ensure that the content of users' communications is fully protected when the content is being used and saved.
