Port Mirror Direction Specifies the direction of the traffic, either in or out. It is necessary to specify the direction
because:
• If the source port of the frame matches the mirrored port and the mirrored direction is ingress
or both (ingress and egress), the frame is sent to the mirrored port.
• If the destination port of the frame matches the mirrored port and the mirrored direction is
egress or both, the frame is sent to the monitoring port.
