      Your dest port on the mirror can not be a member of a vlan. All tags should be stripped going to dest mirror port.

      I would think that a mirror should duplicate the original. As I mentioned, I have worked on systems where QinQ is used. It would be nice to be able to see the tags when working on it. On my TP-Link switch, I use port based VLANs to keep the monitor port separate from the traffic ports. I'll have to do some testing with both, when I get a round tuit. 😉

      I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

        Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

        I have certainly seen spanning tree on mirror ports. In fact, they became so annoying I created Wireshark filters to block them. On my home network, my PVR thinks it's the root switch.

          adding tag to the tx traffic that is sent to the mirror port

          It appears to be the receive side, not transmit.

            TP-Link does something better than Cisco!
