5.10.3 Verifying Mirroring Sessions
 To verify the attributes of a specific mirroring session:
switch (config monitor session 1) # destination interface ethernet 1/2
switch (config monitor session 1) # header-format add-ethernet-header destination-mac
00:0d:ec:f1:a9:c8 add-vlan 10 priority 5 traffic-class 2
For remote connectivity use the header formats add-vlan or add-ethernet-header . For
local connectivity, use
local .
switch (config monitor session 1) # truncate
switch (config monitor session 1) # congestion pause-excessive-frames
The default for this command is to drop excessive frames. The pause-excessive-
frames
option uses flow control to regulate the traffic from the source interfaces.
If the option pause-excessive-frame is selected, make sure that flow control is
enabled on all source interfaces on the ingress direction of the monitoring session
using the command
flowcontrol in the interface configuration mode.
switch (config monitor session 1) # no shutdown
switch (config) # show monitor session 1
Admin: Enable
