You must use an unassigned port as the mirror port. The Mirror Port must have a lower number than the Mirrored Ports. For example, specify X9 as a Mirror Port and X10 as the Mirrored Port. Specifying X10 as the Mirror Port and X9 as the Mirrored Port results in a Data is incorrectly formatted error.
