and connection assurance. When Port Mirroring is enabled, one port becomes a monitor port for
any other port within the stack. Note that the source and target ports must be configured within the
same VLAN and be operating at the same speed. If the target port is operating at a lower speed, the
source port will be forced to drop its operating speed to match that of the target port.
