  Note: 
z  To mirror tagged packets, you need to configure VLAN VPN on the reflector port. 
z  The reflector port cannot forward traffics as a normal port. Therefore, it is 
recommended that you use a idle and in-down-state port as the reflector port, and 
be careful to not add other settings on this port. 
z  It is recommended that you do not configure a VLAN as the remote-probe VLAN if 
the mac-address max-mac-count 0 command is configured on a port in this VLAN. 
Otherwise, remote mirroring may not work properly. 
z  Be sure not to configure a port used to connect the intermediate and destination 
switches as the mirroring source port. Otherwise traffic disorder may occur in the 
network.
