Single-Destination RMirror
If the mirrored traffic is forwarded to one single destination switch, you can disable the reflector
port. The Switch adds RMirror VLAN tag and forwards mirrored traffic from the mirroring port to the
connected port directly.
Multi-Destination RMirror
If you configure more than one connected port on the source switch to forward the mirrored traffic
to multiple destination switches, you must enable a reflector port on the source switch.
