### Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to help you understand the Port Mirroring parameters.

Variable | Value
--- | ---
Instance | Indicates the Port Mirroring instance number. Release 6.2 supports only one instance.
PortMode | Indicates the supported Port Mirroring modes. The modes are: Adst—Mirror packets with destination MAC address A. Asrc—Mirror packets with source MAC address A. AsrcBdst—Mirror packets with source MAC address A and destination MAC address B. AsrcBdstOrBsrcAdst—Mirror packets with source MAC address A and destination MAC address B or packets with source MAC address B and destination MAC address A. AsrcOrAdst—Mirror packets with source or destination MAC address A. manytoOneRx—Many to one port mirroring on ingress packets. manytoOneRxTx—Many to one port mirroring on ingress and egress traffic. manytoOneTx—Many to one port mirroring on egress packets. Xrx—Mirror packets received on port X. XrxOrXtx—Mirror packets received or transmitted on port X. XrxOrYtx—Mirror packets received on port X or transmitted on port Y. XrxYtx—Mirror packets received on port X and transmitted on port Y. This mode is not recommended for mirroring broadcast and multicast traffic. XrxYtxOrXtxYrx—Mirror packets received on port X and transmitted on port Y or packets received on port Y and transmitted on port X. Xtx—Mirror packets transmitted on port X. The default value is Disabled.
MonitorPort | Specifies the monitor port.
PortListX | Indicates the switch port to be monitored by the designated monitor port. This port is monitored according to the value X in the Monitoring Mode field.
PortListY | Indicates the switch port to be monitored by the designated monitor port. This port is monitored according to the value Y in the Monitoring Mode field.
MacAddressA | Specifies the mirroring MAC address A.
MacAddressB | Specifies the mirroring MAC address B.
AllowTraffic | Indicates whether bi-directional traffic is enabled.
