Goal: Set up port mirroring

Symptoms: how to set up port mirroring /roving analysis /mirror port's /monitor port

Fixes: Below is an example of creating a mirror group and setting up port mirroring - in this example I have mirrored inbound and outbound traffic going to ethernet ports 5 through 8 over to ethernet port 10 which is configured as the monitor port

[5500-EI]mirroring-group 1 local
[5500-EI]mirroring-group 1 mirroring-port eth 1/0/5 to eth 1/0/8 both
[5500-EI]mirroring-group 1 monitor-port eth 1/0/10
[5500-EI]disp mirroring-group 1
mirroring-group 1:
    type: local
    status: active
    mirroring port:
        Ethernet1/0/5  both
        Ethernet1/0/6  both
        Ethernet1/0/7  both
        Ethernet1/0/8  both
    monitor port: Ethernet1/0/10
[5500-EI]
