Description
Configure port mirroring to copy a sampling of packets, by setting a ratio of 1:x. A value of 1 for x mirrors every packet, and 2047 mirrors 1 out of every 2047 packets.

On EX4500 switches, if you configure a ratio for any one of the port-based analyzers, that ratio automatically applies to all port-based analyzers.
