Port Mirroring on Dell PC 6224

Hi,

I am trying to set up Port Mirroring on a PC 6224.

From the Configuration Guide, I read "You can configure many switch ports as source ports and one switch port as a destination port." .

But when I am trying to add a fifth port as source port mirroring, it returns the message "No more source ports can be added."

console(config)#monitor session 1 mode
console(config)#monitor session 1 destination interface 1/g24
console(config)#monitor session 1 source interface 1/g1
console(config)#monitor session 1 source interface 1/g2
console(config)#monitor session 1 source interface 1/g3
console(config)#monitor session 1 source interface 1/g5
console(config)#monitor session 1 source interface 1/g6

No more source ports can be added.

console(config)#

Did someone has experimented the same problem? Is there a limit in the source interface number?

Thank you

    Hello,

    The max # of ports that can be configured for port mirroring is 4.  I am still checking to see if changing the firmware will allow more to be configured & will report once I have that additional info.

    Let us know how it goes

    Hello,

    I just tried with the last version of the firmaware for PC 6xxx, and it allows to configure more source port for mirroring.

    Thank you and best regards.

    What version of firmware allowed you to go beyond 4 source ports for mirrioring, I'm running 3.3.4.1 and I have not tried to go beyond the 4 ports,

    I have a 6224F with 7 fiber interfaces connected to 7 switches and my security team members would like to sniff on all 7 fiber uplink ports is why I'm asking the question
