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)

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.
