No the issue isnt monitoring many ports at once, its having more then 1 set of monitoring or 2 sets in the 6500 case. So I am monitoring say port channel 1 to ports 1 2 3 4, and port channel 2 , ports 4 5 6 and 7. After that I cannot monitor anymore ports.

Instead of monitoring the physical interface, monitor the vlan from a Cisco IOS perspective on a CAT6500. This will capture all physical interfaces associated with that vlan for mirroring/span.

Hello All,
We are looking for a switch or a device that we can use for mirroring tap ports. For example , take a mirror port off of a core router say a 6509, connect it to a port on said device, say port 1. I would like then to be able to mirror port 1 on said device to multiple ports, like port 2 , 3, 4. We have the need to analyze traffic from one port on multiple devices. Seems most switches are limited to mirroring to a max of 1 or 2 ports.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks, Ameen
