Single port entry and exit to internet

Dell 5448. 

  •       Hello if anyone can help. I have pfsense installed as my firewall on a Dell in an HP rack. The Dell 5448 is also in the rack.
  • Now can you help;
    •    1. The 5448 has at least 6 VLANs configured. 
    • 2. the network has all the VLANs going in and out on different ports on the switch to the different ports on the pfense firewall.  Now what I need to do is setup the 5448 so traffic coming from devices attached to the switch exits out of one port to the firewall and out to the internet. if I can do that then I can set up a mirrored port to that port and monitor traffic with either surricata, security onion etc... 
    • 3. The switch does not allow more than one mirroring port. Can I setup more than one port for mirroring

Thanks your help is appreciated

Hello,
"I have pfsense installed as my firewall on a Dell in an HP rack." -> For now could you confirm if it's a physical firewall or a virtual one? 

Also this is just a headsup- the support for Power connect 5448 switch is over, so I don't think there's much we can assist on this product, I'm afraid.

(you can read about port mirroring here, page 292)
