Mirroring SmartSwitch rules

You can mirror rules from a SmartSwitch view to one or more subsystems. For example, you can mirror a set of rules that you verified on a test subsystem to all of your production subsystems. The mirroring process transfers all SmartSwitch rules to the target subsystems and replaces the rules that reside on the target subsystems.
