Dell Force10 Z9000 FTOS Configuration Guide for Z9000 System - Page 693

On the E-Series TeraScale, FTOS supports a single source-destination statement in a monitor session (Message 2). E-Series TeraScale supports only one source and one destination port per port-pipe (Message 3). Therefore, the E-Series TeraScale supports as many monitoring sessions as there are port-pipes in the system. Message 2 Multiple Source-Destination Statements Error Message on E-Series TeraScale % Error: Remove existing monitor configuration. Message 3 One Source/Destination Port per Port-pipe Error Message on E-Series TeraScale % Error: Some port from this port pipe is already configured as MD. % Error: Some port from this port pipe is already configured as MG. Figure 32-1 illustrates a possible port monitoring configuration on the E-Series. Figure 32-1.

One monitor session can have only one destination (MG) port. The same destination (MG) port can be uses with multiple monitoring sessions. There is no restriction on the number of source (MD) or destination (MG) ports on the chassis because there is no port-pipe restriction on the E-Series ExaScale system. There is no restriction to the number of monitoring sessions supported on the E-Series ExaScale system. Port Monitoring on C-Series, S-Series, and Z-Series The C-Series and S-Series support multiple source-destination statements in a monitor session, but there may only be one destination port in a monitoring session (Message 4). Message 4 One Destination Port in a Monitoring Session Error Message on C-Series and S-Series % Error: Only one MG port is allowed in a session. Port Monitoring | 693
