If you congure the flow-based enable command and do not apply an ACL on the source port or the monitored port, both ow-based
monitoring and port mirroring do not function. Flow-based monitoring is supported only for ingress trac.
The show monitor session session-id command displays output that indicates if a particular session is enabled for ow-
monitoring.

Enable ow-based monitoring
Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by mirroring only specied trac, rather than all trac on an interface. It is available for L2
and L3 ingress and egress trac. Congure trac to monitor using ACL lters.
1 Create a monitor session in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
monitor session session-number type local
2 Enable ow-based monitoring for the mirroring session in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
flow-based enable
3 Dene ACL rules that include the keywords capture session session-id in CONFIGURATION mode. The system only
considers port monitoring trac that matches rules with the keywords capture session.

4 Apply the ACL to the monitored port in INTERFACE mode.
