EX2500 Ethernet Switch Configuration Guide
As shown in Figure 15, port 2 is acting as a monitor port, receiving mirrored traffic from three other switch ports: ingress traffic from port 4, egress traffic from port 7, and both ingress and egress traffic from port 10. A sniffer could be attached to port 2 in order to monitor the mirrored traffic on ports 4, 7, and 10.
NOTE: Ingress and egress traffic is duplicated and sent to the monitor port after regular switch processing is complete.

1.Specify the monitoring port, the mirroring port(s), and the
ex2500(config)#
