Note:
z
A local mirroring group is effective only when it has both source ports and the
destination port configured.
z
It is not recommended to enable STP, RSTP or MSTP on the destination port;
otherwise, the mirroring function may be affected.
z
Do not use the destination mirroring port for any purpose other than port mirroring.
z
The source ports and the destination port cannot be the member ports of the current
mirroring group.
z
Before adding the destination port for a port mirroring group, make sure the port
mirroring group exists. A mirroring group can have only one destination port.
