Hi Daubsi,
Welcome to Netgear community, your solution won't be working becasue the destination mirrored port can't forward any traffic out by Netgear smart switch design.
What are your looking forward to is RSPAN, user can configure the VLAN to use the remote switched port analyzer (RSPAN) VLAN. RSPAN allows to mirror traffic from multiple source ports (or from all ports that are members of a VLAN) from different network devices and send the mirrored traffic to a destination port (a probe port connected to a network analyzer) on a remote device. The mirrored traffic is tagged with the RSPAN VLAN ID and transmitted over trunk ports in the RSPAN VLAN. Most of high-end Netgear managed switch support this feature, e.g. M5100 series, M4300 series, M6100 and M7100.
