• When mirroring traffic from a port or trunk, the mirror port/trunk and monitor port
speeds should match, otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port. When
mirroring traffic from a VLAN, traffic may also be dropped under heavy loads.
• When VLAN mirroring and port or trunk mirroring are both enabled, the target port
can receive a mirrored packet twice; once from the source mirror port or trunk and
again from the source mirror VLAN.
• When mirroring traffic from a MAC address, ingress traffic with the specified source
address entering any port in the switch, other than the target port, will be mirrored to
the destination port.
• Spanning Tree BPDU packets are not mirrored to the target port.
• You can create multiple mirror sessions, but all sessions must share the same
destination port.
Example
The following example configures the switch to mirror all packets from port 6 to 11:
SSE-G2252(config)#interface ethernet 1/11
SSE-G2252(config-if)#port monitor ethernet 1/6 both
SSE-G2252(config-if)#
