Switch designed for mirroring tap ports

Thu Mar 1 08:54:18 UTC 2012

No the issue isnt monitoring many ports at once, its having more then 1 set
of monitoring or 2 sets in the 6500 case. So I am monitoring say port
channel 1 to ports 1 2 3 4, and port channel 2 , ports 4 5 6 and 7. After
that I cannot monitor anymore ports.
