4.12.5 Port Mirroring

Port mirroring monitors and mirrors network traffic by forwarding copies of incoming and outgoing packets from one port to a
monitoring port. Port mirroring can be used as diagnostic tool and/or a debugging feature. Port mirroring also enables switch
performance monitoring (refer to figure 4-74).
