comma (,) to separate port IDs and a hyphen (-) to indicate a range
of port IDs.

The specified mirror port receives the copies of these frames.

Specifies receiving frames of source ports. The specified mirror
port receives the copies of these frames.

transmit

port receives the copies of these frames.

Mode

Port Interface mode

Description

Use this command to specify a port as the mirror port. In addition, you can
specify the direction of frames that the mirror port receives from the source
port: receive, transmit, or both. The mirror port receive copies of receiving
frames without VLAN tags and transmitting frames with VLAN tags. The
switch does not copy and send PAUSE frames and broadcast packets that
the switch generates.

When you specify the port as the mirror port for the copy-to-mirror action of
hardware access control lists (ACLs) or policy maps, enter this command
without any parameters. For information about ACLs, see Chapter 20,
“ACL Commands” on page 443.

You can specify only one port as a mirror port for the switch. Once the port
becomes a mirror port, the port does not belong to any VLAN.

To cancel the port as a mirror port, use the NO MIRROR command. The
port restores the membership of the VLAN before the port was designated
as a mirror port.
