In the following examples, ports 1/13, 1/14, 1/15, and 1/16 all belong to the same port-pipe. They are pointing to four differentdestinations (1/1, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/37). Now it is not possible for another source port from the same port-pipe (for example, 1/17) topoint to another new destination (for example, 1/4). If you attempt to configure another destination (to create 5 MG port), thismessage displays: % Error will be thrown in case of RPM and ERPM features.Example of Changing the Destination Port in a Monitoring SessionDell(conf-mon-sess-5)#do show moni sessionSessID Source Destination Dir Mode Source IP Dest IP------ ------ ----------- --- ---- --------- --------1 Te 1/1 Te 2/1 both Port N/A N/A2 Te 1/1 Te 2/2 both Port N/A N/A3 Te 1/1 Te 2/3 both Port N/A N/A4 Te 1/1 Te 2/4 both Port N/A N/A5 Te 1/1 Te 2/5 both Port N/A N/ADell(conf-mon-sess-5)#Dell(conf)#mon ses 300Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#source tengig 1/17 destination tengig 1/4 direction tx% Error: Exceeding max MG ports for this MD port pipe.Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#source tengig 1/17 destination tengig 1/1 direction txDell(conf-mon-sess-300)#do show mon sessionSessionID Source Destination Direction Mode Type--------- ------ ----------- --------- ---- ----0 Te 1/13 Te 2/1 rx interface Port-based10 Te 1/14 Te 2/2 rx interface Port-based20 Te 1/15 Te 2/3 rx interface Port-based30 Te 1/16 Te 2/7 rx interface Port-based300 Te 1/17 Te 1/1 tx interface Port-basedDell(conf-mon-sess-300)#Example of Configuring Another Monitoring Session with a Previously Used Destination PortDell(conf)#mon ses 300Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#source TenGig 1/17 destination TenGig 1/4 direction tx% Error: Exceeding max MG ports for this MD port pipe.Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#source TenGig 1/17 destination TenGig 1/1 direction txDell(conf-mon-sess-300)#do show mon sessionSessionID Source Destination Direction Mode Type--------- ------ ----------- --------- ---- ----0 Te 1/13 Te 1/1 rx interface Port-based10 Te 1/14 Te 1/2 rx interface Port-based20 Te 1/15 Te 1/3 rx interface Port-based30 Te 1/16 Te 1/7 rx interface Port-based300 Te 1/17 Te 1/1 tx interface Port-basedExample of Viewing a Monitoring SessionIn the example below, 0/25 and 0/26 belong to Port-pipe 1.
