Instead of monitoring the physical interface, monitor the vlan from a Cisco IOS perspective on a CAT6500.  This will capture all physical interfaces associated with that vlan for mirroring/span.

Hello All,

We are looking for a switch or a device that we can use for mirroring tap
ports. For example , take a mirror port off of a core router say a 6509,
connect it to a port on said device, say port 1. I would like then to be
able to mirror port 1 on said device to multiple ports,  like port 2 , 3,
4. We have the need to analyze traffic from one port on multiple devices.
Seems most switches are limited to mirroring to a max of 1 or 2 ports.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Ameen
