NOTE: The Port Mirroring target must be a member of the Ingress VLAN of all Mirroring source ports. Therefore, multicast and broadcast frames in these VLANs are seen more than once. (Actually N, where N is the number of mirroring source ports). When both transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) directions of more than one port are monitored, the capacity may exceed the bandwidth of the target port. In this case, the division of the monitored packets may not be equal. The user is advised to use caution in assigning port monitoring.
