monitor session
Use the monitor session command in Global Configuration mode to configure a probe port and
a monitored port for monitor session (port monitoring). Use the src-interface 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 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.
