In the example below, 0/25 and 0/26 belong to Port-pipe 1. This port-pipe has the same restriction of
only four destination ports, new or used.

Given these parameters, the following illustration shows the possible port monitoring configurations on
the S-Series.
Figure 99. Port Monitoring Configurations on the S-Series
Dell Networking OS Behavior: All monitored frames are tagged if the configured monitoring direction is
egress (TX), regardless of whether the monitored port (MD) is a Layer 2 or Layer 3 port. If the MD port is a
Layer 2 port, the frames are tagged with the VLAN ID of the VLAN to which the MD belongs. If the MD
port is a Layer 3 port, the frames are tagged with VLAN ID 4095. If the MD port is in a Layer 3 VLAN, the
frames are tagged with the respective Layer 3 VLAN ID. For example, in the configuration source TeGig
6/0 destination TeGig 6/1 direction tx, if the MD port Gigabitethernet 6/0 is an untagged member of any
VLAN, all monitored frames that the MG port gigabitethernet 6/1 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 difference between the number of egress packets on the MD port
and monitored packets on the MG port.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: The S4820T continues to mirror outgoing traffic even after an MD
participating in spanning tree protocol (STP) transitions from the forwarding to blocking.
