• All the frames are transmitted as either always tagged or always untagged. • Maximum number of supported source ports is 4 (Rx and Tx). General Restrictions: • Ports cannot be configured as a group using the interface range ethernet command. 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. Example The following example shows how traffic on port g16 (source port) is copied to port g11 (destination port). console(config)# interface ethernet g11 console(config-if)# port monitor g16 show ports monitor The show ports monitor User EXEC mode command displays the port monitoring status. Syntax show ports monitor Default Configuration This command has no default configuration.
