Starting and Stopping Packet Mirror

You can start a packet mirroring session that uses your configured mirror settings. On the MONITOR | Tools & Monitors > Packet Monitor page, click Start Mirror. It is not necessary to first configure specific criteria for display, logging, FTP export, and other settings. Packet mirroring stops when you click Stop Capture.
