corrrect use of mirrored switch port
I want to monitor a cusromers network with wireshark to find the source of lan ping time spikes.
I dont have a dedicated PC on their network to run wireshark on.
They do have a PC that is on the network that runs the quickbooks database mangement. If I were to configure the switch to mirror all traffic out of the port this PC is connected to, will that cause the quickbooks file to be inaccesible. Basically Im asking if a mirrored switch port can still be used for normal network connectivity.
If I could mirror that port and then use wireshark to gather some data on it that would be useful.
