Fabric mode 2 port mirroring provides the ability for 80-series
modules to monitor traffic that a port transmits and receives. Four
channels are provided for monitoring traffic, so you can monitor
four different ports or port ranges simultaneously. You can set up
Fabric mode 2 port mirrors by using either the Web Agent or the
CLI. The switch must be in Fabric mode 2 to perform Fabric mode 2
port mirroring.
* Note: When using Fabric mode 2 port mirroring, you cannot
mirror transmit traffic of multiple source ports to one
mirror port.
* Note: When you use Fabric mode 2 port mirroring, both the
source port and mirror port must either:
Be on the same VLAN and have the same VLAN binding

or
Have VLAN binding set to bind to all

* Note: Avaya recommends that you do not set up a port mirror
with a source port or mirror port that is bandwidth
