Enable mirroring command

From NetworkStuff

A CLI command available on most Extreme switch platforms; used to specify a port to output mirrored traffic to (the mirror port.) In other words, this command specifies the mirroring destination.

Usage Syntax

enable mirroring to port port_number [tagged|untagged]

Usage Examples

enable mirroring to port 1:8 untagged - mirror traffic from the port or vlan specifed with the configure mirroring command (the source) to the specified port (the destination.)

Usage Notes

The configure mirroring command must first be used to specify the port(s) or vlan(s) to be mirrored 'from' (the source.)

The specified port must not be configured in a vlan if you specify untagged.

Annoyingly, the port must be active (up) when this command is entered.
