Switch Port Mirror Limitations on Monitoring PC using Wireshark

Asked by really24 in Network Switches & Hubs, Miscellaneous Networking, Network Analysis Software

My question is quite general. I'm using a Dell PowerConnect 5324.

I would like to monitor the traffic of 1 PC using another PC as a monitor running wireshark. On page 228 of the switch it says

The following restrictions apply to ports configured to be destination ports:
1. IP interfaces are not configured on the port
2. The port is not a VLAN member

Does this mean that I can't use the Monitoring PC as a regular PC that browses the internet or shares files with other PCs?
