The traffic filter can be defined based on one of the following criteria:
• Physical port — All data that traverses the port, regardless of VLAN configuration,
is copied to the monitor port.
• VLAN — All data to and from a particular VLAN, regardless of the physical port
configuration, is copied to the monitor port.
• Virtual port — All data specific to a VLAN on a specific port is copied to the
monitor port.
Up to eight mirroring filters and one monitor port can be configured on the switch.
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.
