The following is an example of the CLI commands:
Port Mirroring
Switches usually only forward frames to relevant ports. To monitor traffic,
either for information gathering, such as statistical analysis, or for
troubleshooting higher-layer protocol operation, the Mirroring feature
forwards frames to a monitoring port.
Mirroring provides the ability to specify that a desired destination (target)
port will receive a copy of all traffic passing through designated source ports.
The frames arriving at the destination port are copies of the frames passing
through the source port at ingress, prior to any switch action.
