Packets addressed to the CPU, such as pings, are duplicated out of the
mirror port. Tagged packets that are sent into a source port with a VLAN ID
to which the source port is not bound, are not transmitted out the mirror
port. VLAN tag information is not propagated to the mirror port.
* Note: To prevent unnecessary traffic flooding on a mirror port, put the
mirror port on the same VLAN as the source port.
Two port mirroring features are available for the Avaya Multiservice
switches: Fabric mode 1 port mirroring and Fabric mode 2 port mirroring.
The switch must be in Fabric mode 2 to perform Fabric mode 2 port
mirroring.
Fabric mode 1 port mirroring works with 50-series modules. Fabric mode 2
port mirroring works with 80-series modules.
* Note: If you use port mirroring, the Frame Tags field on the Switch
Port Configuration Web page for the port must be set to Use
(default).

the Web Agent, the CLI, or SNMP. Fabric mode 1 port mirroring works
with 50-series modules.
Do not use a router port as a piggyback port.
Do not set port mirroring on disabled ports.
You must establish a link to a mirror port before you setup a port
mirror with a piggyback port. Otherwise, the port mirror will not
work.
