Mirroring Configuration
1-9
 Note:
z To mirror tagged packets, you need to configure VLAN VPN on the reflector port.
z The reflector port cannot forward traffics as a normal port. Therefore, it is
recommended that you use a idle and in-down-state port as the reflector port, and
be careful to not add other settings on this port.
z Be sure not to configure a port used to connect the intermediate and destination
switches as the mirroring source port. Otherwise traffic disorder may occur in the
network.
