Port mirroring on Nortel BayStack 460-PWR

Dear all,

I am designing a network using the BS460 as power switches.

I need to put a sniffer on a specified port on the switch to monitor
the traffic on my network.

Is the BS460-PWR capable of doing many-to-one port mirroring, i.e. can
i mirror 23 ports on a single one?

It is stated clearly that the 450's can do it, but I could find nothing
regarding the 460's.

Thanks in advance

It's my understanding that the 460's are just 450's with POE added. So
I'd assume yes. But then again, that's only an assumption.
