Port Monitoring
The Z9000 supports 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 0/13, 0/14, 0/15, and 0/16 all belong to the same port-pipe. They are
pointing to four different destinations (0/1, 0/2, 0/3, and 0/37). Now it is not possible for another source
port from the same port-pipe (for example, 0/17) to point to another new destination (for example, 0/4).
If you attempt to configure another destination (to create 5 MG port), this message displays: % Error
will be thrown in case of RPM and ERPM features.
Example of Changing the Destination Port in a Monitoring Session
