can captured traffic be determined if it was Ingress or egress

Hi there

Can a captured packet be determined if it is Ingress or egress in relation to a switch if port mirroring was used to capture traffic?

Thank you

There is no way to see that in the capture file, as the same frame is ingress on the switch port where the frame enters the switch and egress where is leaves the switch. Unless you know the switch port mirroring configuration, you can't tell the difference.
