If you think about it, then the management port doesn't work for mirroring traffic as it's
A. Only 100Mbps...
B. Not connected to the switch port and out of band from the tim process (And it's the tim that does the mirroring).
I usually use an 'internal' interface for port mirroring... What that really is depends. A favourite of mine is a separate HA/Mirroring VLAN in a completely separate physical interface and switch... (e.g. a dedicated switch or pair of switches for the HA traffic).
