Given these parameters, the following illustration shows the possible port monitoring configurations.
Figure 94. Port Monitoring Configurations
Dell Networking OS Behavior: All monitored frames are tagged if the configured monitoring direction is
egress (TX), regardless of whether the monitored port (MD) is a Layer 2 or Layer 3 port. If the MD port is a
Layer 2 port, the frames are tagged with the VLAN ID of the VLAN to which the MD belongs. If the MD port is
a Layer 3 port, the frames are tagged with VLAN ID 4095. If the MD port is in a Layer 3 VLAN, the frames are
