All ports that are involved in port mirroring must have memberships in the
same VLANs. If a port is configured for port mirroring, the port's VLAN
membership cannot be changed.
If a port is a trunk group member, all trunk members are added or deleted
from the VLAN.
All ports involved in trunking and port mirroring must have the same VLAN
configuration. If a port is on a trunk with a mirroring port, the VLAN
configuration cannot be changed.
VLANs are not dependent on rate limiting settings.
If a port is an IGMP member on any VLAN, and is removed from a VLAN,
the port's IGMP membership is also removed.
When you add a port to a different VLAN, and it is already configured as a
static router port, the port is configured as an IGMP member on that specific
VLAN.
