direction tx, if the MD port Gig 6/1 is an untagged member of any VLAN, all monitored frames that the MG port Gig 6/2 receives are
tagged with the VLAN ID of the MD port. Similarly, if BPDUs are transmitted, the MG port receives them tagged with the VLAN ID 4095.
This behavior might result in a dierence between the number of egress packets on the MD port and monitored packets on the MG port.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The platform continues to mirror outgoing trac even after an MD participating in spanning tree protocol
(STP) transitions from the forwarding to blocking.
Conguring Port Monitoring
To congure port monitoring, use the following commands.
1 Verify that the intended monitoring port has no conguration other than no shutdown, as shown in the following example.
EXEC Privilege mode
show interface
2 Create a monitoring session using the command monitor session from CONFIGURATION mode, as shown in the following example.
CONFIGURATION mode
monitor session
monitor session type rpm/erpm
type is an optional keyword, required only for rpm and erpm
3 Specify the source and destination port and direction of trac, as shown in the following example.
MONITOR SESSION mode
source
Example of Viewing Port Monitoring Conguration
To display information on currently congured port-monitoring sessions, use the show monitor session command from EXEC
Privilege mode.
