Monitor-Port - 3Com Switch 4500 Family Manual

A copy of each packet passing through a source port will be sent to the corresponding
destination port.
Related commands: display mirroring-group.
When you configure mirroring source port on an Ethernet port of a Switch 4500, if mirroring
group 1 does not exist, the switch will automatically create local mirroring group 1 and add
the source port to the group; if mirroring group 1 already exists, but is not a local mirroring
group, your configuration of the source port will fail.
Examples
# In Ethernet port view, configure Ethernet 1/0/1 as the source port, and mirror all packets
received on and sent from this port.
