Configuring TP-Link TL-SG108 switch to use Port Mirroring

DaveInWorthington

The specifications for TL-SG108 on the Micro Center web site says "Port Mirroring" is one of the features. The user manual says nothing about it. How do I configure the switch for port mirroring?

Hello @DaveInWorthington
I apologize for the confusion and the delayed response. We really appreciate you letting us know. I have sent a message to our web team to correct the specifications on that page.
However, I believe you would benefit from a managed switch. It will support features like port mirroring and VLANs. Personally, the only layer 2 switch that has port mirroring capabilities that I am aware of is the Ubiquiti brand. That is only because you can control the switch through a controller. Other than that, nearly every unmanaged switch will not allow you to control the traffic or the ports.

SG108E switch that has port mirroring.

Correction: The "Installation Guide" says nothing about it. Maybe a "User Manual" doesn't come with the product.

After using live chat with a Micro Center associate, I think the web site has typos/errors for this product. I am going to return it and get a switch that does have port mirroring.

Thanks. I have returned the SG108 switch and purchased a SG
