Port Mirroring, 8900AX-1600R2 - for URL monitoring
Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2020 10:29 am
Please can you advise if port mirroring works on 8900AX?
I want to log site visits. 8900 doesn't do this. Using a Raspberry Pi as a DNS allows URL to be logged, but to get more info I need to look at traffic.
So, I am trying to use port mirroring on 8900 so all traffic can be seen on wired port 5 (where I've a pi running wireshark to observe all traffic)
note, I use PPPoA (plusnet's regular ADSL just doesn't seem to work PPPoE)
There is no menu item on 8900 for mirroring, but I did find a link to menu item for port mirroring on this forum
http://192.168.1.254/engdebug.html
Set this, but mirroring does not work on 8900 router - (wireshark can't see any more traffic than before).
By contrast, if I use a netgear GS105E in my 8900, mirroring works perfectly to one of its ports (wireshark can see all traffic passing through GS105E)
Using a GS105E after the 8900 of course fails to include wireless traffic or wired ports on the 8900
Any advice much apprciated.
