Problem of monitoring of other computers with my netgear GS724T switch

[hidgroup]

I send you image of menu port mirroring of my switch, with latest firmware..



In the configuration, I have connected port 22 to the server 2008 and Wfilter.



I tried to connect only port of the router as mirroring, but nothing, so I tried also to mirror each port I want to look on, to the port 22, but nothing..



If I change SESSION MODE in ENALBE , all network connection with port 22 is disabled, and I can not connect network, I can not connect on terminal server to the pc connected to port 22 etc...

The netgear documents says "Session Mode: Select Enable to turn on Multiple Port Mirroring. Select Disable to turn off port mirroring. The session mode is a global value.".



So the "Session Mode" shall be enabled for "port 22" to monitor. Losing connection on "port 22" is because this port is too busy, or this switch does not allow outgoing traffic on the mirroring port.



Anyway, after "session mode" is enabled, you shall be able to monitor other computers in WFilter. Please check.



To solve the connection problem, you can add another NIC to the WFilter computer for communication and blocking. After adding another NIC, the "blocking adapter" in "System Settings"->"Monitoring Settings" shall be choosen as the new NIC for blocking to work.
