Configuring a destination session
Following are the steps for configuring a destination session on a switch.
You can configure the below steps on other destination switches to configure additional destination ports for this RPM session.
1. Configure the destination session for RPM.
CONFIGURATION mode
monitor session session-id
2. Associate the Layer 2 VLAN used to transport monitored traffic with this destination session.
MONITOR SESSION mode
source remote-vlan vlan-id destination interface direction {rx | tx | both}
3. (Optional) Configure destination ports so that the VLAN tag is added to the monitored traffic.
MONITOR SESSION mode
tagged destination interface
To configure destination ports as untagged ports, enter the untagged destinationcommand.
Configuration Example of Remote Port Mirroring
This example provides a sample configuration of remote port mirroring (RPM) on a source switch, an intermediate switch, and a
destination switch based on the following illustration.
Figure 108. RPM Configuration
Following are the port numbers referred in the above illustration:
1 is tengigabitethernet 1/1
2 is tengigabitethernet 1/2
4 is tengigabitethernet 1/4
5 is tengigabitethernet 1/5
7 is tengigabitethernet 1/7
8 is tengigabitethernet 1/8
Configuring Remote Port Mirroring on a source switch
The below configuration example shows that the source is a source port and the destination is the reserved VLAN (for example,
remote-vlan 10).
DellEMC(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 1/2
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# switchport
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/2)# exit
DellEMC(conf)#interface vlan 10
