Port MonitoringPort monitoring is supported on both physical and logical interfaces, such as VLAN and port-channelinterfaces. The source port (MD) with monitored traffic and the destination ports (MG) to which ananalyzer can be attached must be on the same switch. You can configure up to 128 source ports in amonitoring session. Only one destination port is supported in a monitoring session. The S6000–ONsupports multiple source-destination statements in a single monitor session.The maximum number of source ports that can be supported in a session is 128.The maximum number of destination ports that can be supported is 4 per port pipe.In the following examples, ports 1/13/1, 1/14/1, 1/15/1, and 1/16/1 all belong to the same port-pipe. Theyare pointing to four different destinations (1/1/1, 1/2/1, 1/3/1, and 1/37/1). Now it is not possible foranother source port from the same port-pipe (for example, 1/17/1) to point to another new destination(for example, 1/4). If you attempt to configure another destination (to create 5 MG port), this messagedisplays: % 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 1/1/1 Te 2/1/1 both Port N/A N/A2 Te 1/1/1 Te 2/2/1 both Port N/A N/A3 Te 1/1/1 Te 2/3/1 both Port N/A N/A4 Te 1/1/1 Te 2/4/1 both Port N/A N/A5 Te 1/1/1 Te 2/5/1 both Port N/A N/ADell(conf-mon-sess-5)#Dell(conf)#mon ses 300Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#source tengig 1/17/1 destination tengig 1/4/1 directiontx% Error: Exceeding max MG ports for this MD port pipe.Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#source tengig 1/17/1 destination tegnig 1/1/1 directiontxDell(conf-mon-sess-300)#do show mon sessionSessionID Source Destination Direction Mode Type--------- ------ ----------- --------- ---- ----0 Te 1/13/1 Te 2/1/1 rx interface Port-based10 Te 1/14/1 Te 2/2/1 rx interface Port-based20 Te 1/15/1 Te 2/3/1 rx interface Port-based30 Te 1/16/1 Te 2/7/1 rx interface Port-based300 Te 1/17/1 Te 1/1/1 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 1/17/1 destination TenGig 1/4/1 directiontx% Error: Exceeding max MG ports for this MD port pipe.Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#Dell(conf-mon-sess-300)#source TenGig 1/17/1 destination TenGig 1/1/1 directiontxDell(conf-mon-sess-300)#do show mon sessionSessionID Source Destination Direction Mode Type--------- ------ ----------- --------- ---- ----0 Te 1/13/1 Te 1/1/1 rx interface Port-based10 Te 1/14/1 Te 1/2/1 rx interface Port-based678 Port Monitoring
