Hello Ayaz,

your understanding of port mirroring is exactly right: you define the source port, port 1 in your case, and you mirror all traffic on that port to the monitoring port, port 24 in your case. The 2626 is menu-driven, check this link for the procedure to enable port mirroring, scroll down to section B-24:

Monitoring and Analyzing Switch Operation

Ayaz, If you are at CLI you can type MENU hit 2, then 3

highlight edit, hit enter, that will highlight "MIRROR ENABLED? NO"

change it to yes

then select the ports u want, hit enter, then go to save.

from the cLI it can be done, as well
