SKU: BB-SWR-G-1

Hello,
I am currently using four of the five ports on the switch in unmanaged mode.
I would like to use the remaining port (Port 5) to monitor the network traffic on the other four ports (Ports 1–4).
Does the SwitchBlox Rugged support port mirroring?
If so, I would appreciate it if you could explain how to configure or use this feature.
Additionally, I observed an unusual behavior while using the SwitchBlox Rugged in unmanaged mode.
- One master device and three slave devices are connected to Ports 1–4.
- The master device transmits data to Slave #2 every 200 ms.
- I powered off Slave #2 and left it disconnected for more than 10 minutes.
- After that, the data packets that were intended for Slave #2 suddenly started appearing on both Slave #1 and Slave #3.
- I confirmed this behavior using Wireshark.
- When I powered Slave #2 back on, the packets immediately stopped being forwarded to the other ports.
Because this behavior looked similar to port mirroring, I wanted to ask whether it is expected behavior or if there is another possible explanation.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Joowon
