Most north-south traffic, which you probably are interested in, will flow over the uplink ports. Can't you mirror just the uplink ports?
Also, if you start mirroring traffic from many ports, you will likely see that there is more traffic than the single mirror port can handle, which is another reason to mirror uplink ports.

Even though i am using mirror session <id> command which i should be capturing the traffic for those 4 interfaces.
But i am not able to mirror those traffic to my Packet capture device. I am able to do it on my cisco but for aruba i am not able to.
As for the sflow,
My traffic capture device is a Vectra S11 device
The interface do not have any IP address. As the port is used for capturing traffic.
So how do i proceed with sflow?

Use sFlow setup.
You have limit of 4 ports for mirror in this platform.
Best, Gorazd

Hi all, we have a Packet capture device connected to our Aruba 6100 Switch.
And we want to capture all interfaces to be mirror to our packet capture device
But i am only allow to enable 4 interface port maximum as source instead of VLAN1 or all ports on the Aruba 6100.
Anyone can help advise?
