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 a diagnostic tool as well as a debugging
feature. Port mirroring also enables switch performance monitoring.
Network administrators can configure port mirroring by selecting a
specific port from which to copy all packets, and other ports to which the
packets copied.
