Port mirroring is not supported on NX4500 or NX6500 models, as they only utilize GE ports 1 - 2.
Additionally, port mirroring is not supported on uplink (up) ports or wired ports on any controller or
service platform model.

The Mirroring screen displays the following statistical data:
Adoption
The Adoption screens lists Access Points adopted by the controller or service platform, and
includes model, RF Domain membership, configuration status and device uptime information. For
additional AP adoption information, including an adoption history and pending adoptions, see:
Source
Lists the GE port (1 - 24) used as the data source to span packets to the selected destination port.
The packets spanned from the selected source to the destination depend on whether Inbound,
Outbound or Any was selected as the direction. A source port cannot be a destination port.
Destination
Displays the GE port (1 - 24) used as the port destination to span packets from the selected source.
The destination port serves as a duplicate image of the source port and can be used to send
packets to a network diagnostic without disrupting the behavior on the original port. The
destination port transmits only mirrored traffic and does not forward received traffic. Additionally,
address learning is disabled on the destination port.
Direction
Lists the direction data packets are spanned from the selected source to the defined destination.
Packets spanned from the source to the destination depend on whether Inbound (received packets
only), Outbound (transmitted packets only) or Any (packets in either direction) was selected.

Select the Refresh button to update the screen’s statistics counters to their latest values.
