Port Mirroring

Port mirroring, which is also known as port monitoring, selects network traffic that you can
analyze with a network analyzer, such as a SwitchProbe device or other Remote Monitoring
(RMON) probe.

monitor session

This command configures a probe port and a monitored port for monitor session (port
monitoring). Use the source interface <unit/slot/port> parameter to specify the
interface to monitor. Use rx to monitor only ingress packets, or use tx to monitor only egress
packets. If you do not specify an {rx | tx} option, the destination port monitors both
ingress and egress packets. Use the destination interface <unit/slot/port> to
specify the interface to receive the monitored traffic. Use the mode parameter to enabled the
administrative mode of the session. If enabled, the probe port monitors all the traffic received
and transmitted on the physical monitored port.
Format
monitor session <session-id> {source interface <unit/slot/port> [{rx
| tx}] | destination interface <unit/slot/port> | mode}
Mode
Global Config
