This message indicates:

  • Incorrect port-mirroring configuration.
  • Hardware issue of the port mirroring device.

2 Solution

  • Do not mirror multiple source ports to a target port.
  • Make sure the total source ports bandwidth will not exceed the target port's throughput.
  • Though most switches allow outgoing traffic on a mirroring port, you're recommended not to allow large data transmission on the mirroring port. If you have to transfer large amount data with the monitoring server, please add another NIC to do that. Please check: When shall you use two network adapters in the WFilter server?
  • Packet loss also can happen when the mirroring switch has a hardware issue.
