6.4. Port-based Mirroring
The port mirroring function completely maps the service or control packet traffic of some ports to
the specified port. The specified port is the mirroring port", and the mapped port is the "mirrored
port". Connecting a network analyzer to a mirroring port can clearly analyze the packets of the
mirroring source port without destroying the normal services of the mirroring source port. Port
mirroring is a convenient online monitoring function. All ports of the system can be configured as
mirroring source ports, but only one mirroring destination port can be configured. When a port is
configured as a mirror port, its corresponding port cannot be configured as a source port. The source
port refers to the mirrored port, and multiple ports can be configured. The mirrored destination port
can only be configured with one port.

Hello Time
By default, the hello time is 2 seconds. If the device does not receive
configuration BPDUs within the timeout period, it recalculates the
spanning tree. The formula for calculating the timeout period is
timeout period = timeout factor × 3 × hello time.
Forward Delay
