So then what happens if I target a device that is outside of the switch, do we get an error like -EOPNOTSUPP, or this just silently succeeed, but nothing happens? > > >> - has a downstream speed which is lower than the mirrored device? > > The default behaviour is "strict" which means that if the mirrored > packet can't be send, the packet is dropped.
