Monitor session - reflector port

Hi group,
I have both switches SW1 - SW2 that are connected through ONLY port FA0/24
that is configured as trunk to each other.
At lab 44 of ipexp states:

The IT department has a request to analyze all the traffic on SW1 Port F0/1.
The network analyzer is connected to port F0/22 on SW2, Configure the
switches to accommodate this request.

If I configure the monitor command on SW1 with the reflector port to be the
fa0/24 (the only trunk port)the port will be put in up down. Cisco states
that the reflector port cannot be a trunk port.

So what can we do in this situation?
Do we have to configure a reflector port to be another port not the trunk?

At the real lab exam, Maybe a question to the proctor regarding this issue?

Any thoughts?

TIA

Skra
