End-Of-Life
As per Nortel, "The Ethernet Switch 450 has been Manufacture Discontinued on March 1, 2007. Full support for the Ethernet Switch 450 will end on July 31, 2012" Retirement Bulletin. The major effect of this on users is that software/firmware updates are NO LONGER available without a support contract through Nortel.
Port Mirroring
There's a tutorial about setting up a mirrored port at Tech Republic.
Essentially, from the telnet/serial configuration use Switch Configuration -> Port Mirroring Configuration.
