I have mirrored a port (Summit series) in my system network for packet sniffing using a desktop which is connected to internet. My system network is physically and logically segregated from Internet apart from the mirrored port. Can a hacker access my System Network through mirrored port

The mirror-to port where you are connected to is not part of any vlan so all packets from your PC are dropped. Sorry, I looked at your question wrong.

Thanks OscarK for your reply.

Further to the above query, I read in Internet that the Port mirroring in fact convert the port to a unidirectional link. i tried to do telnet and ping test to my system network, but nothing was working.

I am a newbie to networking, if question is not making sense please let me know
