The following restrictions apply to ports configured as destination ports:
The port cannot be already configured as a source port.
The port cannot be a member in a port-channel.
An IP interface is not configured on the port.
GVRP is not enabled on the port.
The port is not a member of a VLAN, except for the default VLAN (will automatically be
removed from the default VLAN).
