Yes, you are correct, several typical models, such as 100mb L2 and AL2 (These are Both full featured VLAN switches with different OSs which are similar to their equivellent gig version) only support mirroring in TX or RX per port, not simultaneous. For example To Do Calea monitoring it would be necessary to mirror two ports. For example, TX on the customer port, and RX on the backbone port, and sort through it.
But I did not check the highest end SMC yet. I'll plug one in, and check for you, shortly..
