The destination port and the remote-probe VLAN are determined.
z
Layer 2 connectivity is ensured between the source and destination switches over the
remote-probe VLAN.

When configuring a destination switch, note that:
z
A Switch 4500 acting as the destination switch in remote port mirroring networking does not
support bidirectional packet mirroring (the
both
keyword).
z
The destination port of remote port mirroring cannot be a member port of an existing mirroring
group, a fabric port, a member port of an aggregation group, or a port enabled with LACP or STP.
z
Only an existing static VLAN can be configured as the remote-probe VLAN. To remove a
remote-probe VLAN, you need to restore it to a normal VLAN first. A remote port mirroring group
gets invalid if the corresponding remote port mirroring VLAN is removed.
