Purpose
• For session_number, specify the session number entered in step 4.
• For interface-id, specify the destination port. The destination interface
must be a physical port; it cannot be an EtherChannel, and it cannot be
a VLAN.
• (Optional) [, | -] Specifies a series or range of interfaces. Enter a space
before and after the comma; enter a space before and after the hyphen.
(Optional) encapsulation replicate specifies that the destination interface
replicates the source interface encapsulation method. If not selected, the default
is to send packets in native form (untagged).
Note You can use monitor session session_number destination command
multiple times to configure multiple destination ports.
