Abstract

A method of mirroring data to a mirrored to port in a plurality of switches. The method has the steps of determining if data was sent to all of said plurality of switches; determining if said data was sent to a mirrored to port (MTP); and resending said data to all of said plurality of switches if mirroring is enabled and said data was not sent to said MTP.
