Thanks Eriz , Hopchecn for your support.
My issue is resolved . issue was because my PC (where i used to capture the packet) dropps the vlan packets and netgear send mirrored packets with vlan tagged.
Now i used another PC where it can accpet vlan packets and able to capture mirrored tx and RX packets.
thanks again for your support
(suggestion : pls send plane packets with vlan tag removed else people may see issue with mirrored ports)

So, if I understand correctly this is the problem:
njc >> yes below comment from 1, 2 ,3 is correct
1. If you enable TX only in the port mirror settings. That works OK?
2. If you enable RX only in the port mirror settings. That does not work, you see nothing in the capture?
3. If you enable both RX and TX in the port mirror settings. That does not work, you see nothing in the capture or only TX traffic?
What is important to remember is that mirrored RX means received - from the switch point of view. Incoming to the switch - so, actually TX packets from the source device. Is the source device (in port 6) generating any traffic during the packet capture?
njc >>yes traffic is from PC
Ping 8.8.8.8, or something like that, from the source PC in port 6 - to generate traffic and you see that as RX traffic in the capture.
njc >> nothign captured in the mirror port

Hi again,
I just checked my lab here and don't actually have a GS110TP to test with. I would encourage you to reach out to support and let them have a look. If there is a general issue, we need that logged. I can confirm that it works fine on other models I have, but it might be good if support help do a test on the GS110TP model.
You can log a case by signing into https://my.netgear.com/registration/login.aspx and raise a case under this product. If you have any issues with this, send me a PM and I will look into it.
Cheers
