Implementing Port Mirroring

Port mirroring is implemented through mirroring groups.

The mirroring ports and the monitor port are in the same mirroring group. With port mirroring enabled,

the device copies packets passing through the mirroring ports to the monitor port.

Other Supported Features

Mirroring groups support inter-board mirroring, that is, the mirroring ports and the monitor port can be

located on different boards.

Besides, you can use one monitor port to monitor multiple mirroring ports

Support for inter-board mirroring depends on your device model.
