Port Mirroring Behavior
This section describes the composition of monitored packets in the switch, based on the
configuration of the ports.
The following port-mirroring cases apply to the G8000:
 Ingress mirrored packets are not modified.
 Egress mirrored packets are tagged with the PVID of the egress port.
Configuring Port Mirroring
To configure port mirroring for the example shown in Figure 32:
1. Specify the monitoring port, the mirroring port(s), and the port-mirror direction.
2. Enable port mirroring.
3. View the current configuration.
