Source Port Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to ports specified as source ports:
• Source ports cannot be a member of a LAG.
• Source ports cannot be configured as a destination port.
• Up to eight source ports can be mirrored.
NOTE: When a port is set to be a target port for a port-mirroring session, all normal
operations on it are suspended. This includes Spanning Tree and LACP. All currently
active protocols and services on that port are suspended.
