www.dell.com | support.dell.com Important Points to Remember • On the E-Series, Port Monitoring is supported on TeraScale and ExaScale platforms. • Port Monitoring is supported on physical ports only. Logical interfaces, such as Port Channels and VLANs, are not supported. • FTOS supports as many monitor sessions on a system as the number of port-pipes. • A SONET port can only be configured as a monitored port. • The monitoring (destination, "MG") and monitored (source, "MD") ports must be on the same switch. • A monitoring port can monitor any physical port in the chassis. • Only one MG and one MD may be in a single port-pipe. • A monitoring port can monitor more than one port. • More than one monitored port can have the same destination monitoring port. • FTOS on the S-Series supports multiple source ports to be monitored by a single destination port in one monitor session. • On the S-Series, one monitor session can have only one MG port. There is no restriction on the number of source ports, or destination ports on the chassis. Note: The monitoring port should not be a part of any other configuration. • Remote Port Mirroring is supported only on the E-Series ExaScale platform. description c e s Enter a description of this monitoring session Syntax description {description} To remove the description, use the no description {description} command.
