Up to eight mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured. Once a port is
specified as a monitor port, it cannot be used for any other function.
Frames that contain errors are not mirrored.
On switches that do not support the “i” chipset, mirrored frames that are
transmitted from the switch do not contain 802.1Q VLAN tagging information.
