What is Port Mirroring?
Port mirroring, also known as port monitoring or port spanning, is a feature found in network switches or routers that allows the traffic passing through one port (or multiple ports) to be duplicated and sent to another port. This enables network administrators to monitor or analyze network traffic without disrupting normal network operation. Port mirroring is commonly used for network troubleshooting, security monitoring, and performance analysis. By mirroring the traffic from specific ports to a monitoring or analysis device, administrators can inspect the packets for anomalies, security threats, or performance issues without directly interfering with the network traffic flow.
What is Mirror Site?
A mirror site is a website that has been cloned and hosted on a different server. It’s an exact clone of the existing site, except for a changed URL. Mirror sites are especially common for websites that offer large downloads, such as software updates, applications, and multimedia content, ensuring that these resources remain available and accessible to users around the world.
