816 | Port Monitoringw w w . d e l l . c o m | s u p p o r t . d e l l . c o mPort Monitoring on C-Series and S-SeriesThe C-Series and S-Series support multiple source-destination statements in a monitor session, but theremay only be one destination port in a monitoring session (Message 4).The number of source ports FTOS allows within a port-pipe is equal to the number of physical ports in theport-pipe (n). However, n number of ports may only have four different destination ports (Message 5).Figure 38-2. Number of Monitoring Ports on the C-Series and S-SeriesIn Figure 38-2, ports 0/13, 0/14, 0/15, and 0/16 all belong to the same port-pipe. They are pointing to fourdifferent destinations (0/1, 0/2, 0/3, and 0/37). Now it is not possible for another source port from the sameport-pipe (for example, 0/17) to point to another new destination (for example, 0/4). If you attempt toconfigure another destination, Message 5 appears. However, you can configure another monitoring sessionthat uses one of previously used destination ports, as shown in Figure 38-3.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.FTOS#show mon sessionSessionID Source Destination Direction Mode Type--------- ------ ----------- --------- ---- ----0 Gi 0/13 Gi 0/1 rx interface Port-based10 Gi 0/14 Gi 0/2 rx interface Port-based20 Gi 0/15 Gi 0/3 rx interface Port-based30 Gi 0/16 Gi 0/37 rx interface Port-basedFTOS(conf)#mon ses 300FTOS(conf-mon-sess-300)#source gig 0/17 destination gig 0/4 direction tx% Error: Exceeding max MG ports for this MD port pipe.FTOS(conf-mon-sess-300)#FTOS(conf-mon-sess-300)#source gig 0/17 destination gig 0/1 direction txFTOS(conf-mon-sess-300)#do show mon sessionSessionID Source Destination Direction Mode Type--------- ------ ----------- --------- ---- ----0 Gi 0/13 Gi 0/1 rx interface Port-based10 Gi 0/14 Gi 0/2 rx interface Port-based20 Gi 0/15 Gi 0/3 rx interface Port-based30 Gi 0/16 Gi 0/37 rx interface Port-based300 Gi 0/17 Gi 0/1 tx interface Port-basedFTOS(conf-mon-sess-300)#
