New Switch, Setting Up Port Mirroring And Some Other Help!

[iphonogasm]

Hi ive just got a D-Link DES-3226S managed switch for dirt cheap, and am have a little play around with it.
Ive just setup Port Mirroring on it so i cant use my Server running a Packet Sniffer to Monitor All Traffic!

This is my setup!

Its a 24 Port stackable switch, with the server connected to port 24. (i dont know what port 25 and 26 is, but it has serial to)

Just woundering if ive done it right,

Thanks!

Try to change port, use a port < 22

Most of switches don't permit to use port 23,24 and 25,26 togheter.

thanks, i have another question...and problem

The switch seems to do funny things,
When i login to the swtich, some images dont load, and other times other images load...

also on a system "reboot" it looses its ip address. This is a major problem for a firmware flash and when it tries to reboot, it doesnt continue with the firmware flash.

any ideas?? its a D-Link DES-3226S

Thanks!

Mhhh not sure... but... on HP switches, when you make a configuration, you MUST SAVE IT in another page. If you don't do this, when you unplug / restart the switch, everything turns back to the old settings...

If this doesn't help, open a topic on D-link support site.
