MONITOR SESSION mode
flow-based enable
2  Dene IP access-list rules that include the keyword monitor. For port monitoring, Dell Networking OS only considers trac matching 
rules with the keyword monitor.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip access-list
Refer to Access Control Lists (ACLs).
3  Apply the ACL to the monitored port.
INTERFACE mode
ip access-group access-list
Example of the flow-based enable Command
To view an access-list that you applied to an interface, use the show ip accounting access-list command from EXEC Privilege 
mode.

Remote Port Mirroring
While local port monitoring allows you to monitor trac from one or more source ports by directing it to a destination port on the same 
switch/router, remote port mirroring allows you to monitor Layer 2 and Layer 3 ingress and/or egress trac on multiple source ports on 
dierent switches and forward the mirrored trac to multiple destination ports on dierent switches.
Remote port mirroring helps network administrators monitor and analyze trac to troubleshoot network problems in a time-saving and 
ecient way.
