As outlined above, XOS limits to 16 Mirrors (only 4 can be active), however, each of those mirrors can have up to 128 filters defined. And each filter can be made up of ports, virtual ports or VLANS. But the best practice is to mirror traffic on the port that aggregates and egresses the traffic of those 46 ports

It means that up to 128 switch ports can be monitored by one mirror port? So in the example above, It's possible all the 47 ports be monitored by  one? I have the same question because I'm implementing a Cybersecurity solution that need monitor all the port in the Switch.

Keep in mind that if you mirroring both directions on all ports then there is a chance that you duplicate traffic 🙂

Thanks Sean, only one question, in the documentation I see "For VLANs and virtual ports, only traffic ingressing these interfaces are mirroring", I need the Mirror for recording issues and I need record both ingress and egress, is that posible??
