Nortel Networks

(Maybe this page should be moved to Avaya since Avaya acquired the Nortel enterprise segment, which included Nortel Networks Switches and Routing Switches; if so, we should have this page redirect to the Avaya page, so that people who bought their switches from Nortel don't have to know that Avaya bought that part of Nortel.)

For details in configuring Port Mirrorings on previous Images please refer to the according documentation.
