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.

We like Gigamon for this purpose.
