Egress filtered mirroring enables the selective mirroring of packets exiting a port, offering more precise control compared to mirroring all egress traffic. It is possible to selectively mirror egress packets based on the permit statements in the configured ACLs.

Port mirroring is used to send a copy of packets seen on one port to a network monitoring connection on another switch port. Port mirroring is commonly used with network probes or other monitoring devices; examples include intrusion detection devices, latency analyzers, or packet capture and protocol analysis tools.
