Traffic can be mirrored from one or more source ports to one

destination port on the same switch.

Monitor port speed should match or exceed source port speed,

otherwise traffic may be dropped from the monitor port.

When mirroring port traffic, the target port must be included in the

same VLAN as the source port when using MSTP (see

"Spanning Tree

Algorithm" on page 241

).
