A typical full duplex port has both a transmit and receive channel, to monitor both the transmit and receive communications you need to mirror both channels on to the mirror port. Note that this means up to twice as much data on the mirror port so you may actually need a faster port! Part of the command you use would probally be: “#monitor session 1 source interface Gi1/0/1 both” Stuartfawcett 16:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
It seems like this article has very little content that discuss actual port mirroring and a lot of content that discusses how to do port mirroring on a CISCO switch. I don't think it's normal if you can include a wikipedia page in a product manual... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.61.160.13 ( talk) 13:45, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
I don't really agree that this is biased in any way as it is just providing a sample of the config but the other wiki pages relating to networking gear (OSPF, RIP, spanning-tree) do not contain config either. The only one I found in a quick search, that contained config, was EIGRP, which is proprietary.
So I propose we change the name of the article to Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) as there is a lot more documented information which can be referenced for SPAN where as there is virtually none for RAP.
So I propose we rename the article, is that agreeable?
The name change was suggested as the original person who raised this as biased has done so just because there is only Cisco config shown.
The article begins with a brief explanation of what port-mirroring does and gives some examples of the specific names featured on various vendor devices (Cisco and 3COM).
Have removed the code example as is not necessary for the explanation and description of port-mirroring (is also completely irrelevant on non-Cisco devices). Can someone please remove the disputed banner now as there is no issue with this article. — Preceding

Agree... and I removed Mateck ( talk) 01:16, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I noticed that while this page has existed for years, it is still very thin on contents. Several areas of port mirroring are only mentioned in passing and could do with some additional detail.
It is probably best to leave specific configuration of particular devices to the vendors user guides. There are several reasons why I feel this way:
