CLI Guide
this capability, traffic with particular flows that are traversing through the ingress
and egress interfaces are examined and, appropriate ACLs can be applied in both
the ingress and egress directions. Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by
monitoring only specified traffic instead all traffic on the interface. This feature is
particularly useful when looking for malicious traffic. It is available for Layer 2 and
Layer 3 ingress and egress traffic. You may specify traffic using standard or
extended access-lists. This mechanism copies all incoming or outgoing packets on
one port and forwards (mirrors) them to another port. The source port is the
monitored port (MD) and the destination port is the monitoring port (MG).
