32 Port Monitoring Overview The Port Monitoring feature enables you to monitor network traffic by forwarding a copy of each incoming or outgoing packet from one port to another port. The symbols s z under command headings indicate which Dell Networking - S6000 , S-Series or Z-Series, respectively - support the command. Commands • description • monitor session • show config • show monitor session • show running-config monitor session • source Important Points to Remember • On the 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. • 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. Port Monitoring | 705
