CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Note: If the total ingress bandwidth exceeds the mirror port’s egress bandwidth, packets will eventually be dropped on ingress to the switch, which means they will not reach the mirror port or their intended destination port. Input rate-limiting in conjunction with port flow-control should be used to ensure that the total ingress bandwidth never exceeds the egress bandwidth.
