A method of configuring at least a switch for duplicating a data packet and enabling the switch to output a plural duplicated data packets at a speed and volume qualifying for testing a device-under-test (DUT) is disclosed. The method comprising the steps of: dividing the switch into a first segment and a second segment, each having a plurality of ports, wherein one port of the first segment is assigned as an input port and one port of the second segment is assigned as an output port; defining the first segment to be a virtual LAN (VLAN) and second segment to be another VLAN; corresponding all the ports other than the input port in the first segment to all the ports other than the output port in the second segment in a one-on-one manner; inputting a set of data to the input port, wherein the set of data is transmitted to all the ports other than the input port in the first segment, and then each port of the first segment transmits the received set of data to the corresponding port of the second segment, and thus the output port of the second segment received a plural sets of data respectively transmitted from each port of the second segment other than the output port; and outputting the plural set of data from the output port.
