NOTE: On a source switch on which you configure source ports for remote port mirroring, you can add only one port to the
dedicated RPM VLAN which is used to transport mirrored traffic. You can configure multiple ports for the dedicated RPM
VLAN on intermediate and destination switches.
4 Repeat 1 & 3 Step On source, intermediate, and
destination switches on which
mirrored traffic in the reserved L2
VLAN is transmitted.
To remove the remote-port mirroring assignment from a VLAN, enter the no mode remote-port-mirroring command.
Configure a Source Session on Multiple Switches:
Step Command Syntax Command Mode Task
1 monitor session session-id CONFIGURATION
Configure a new remote-port
mirroring session or add or delete
source ports from an existing
session, and enter Monitor Session
configuration mode.
Up to 4 source sessions are
supported on a switch. Refer
to Configuration Notes for
information on datapath limitations.
session-id: Session number used
to identify the mirroring session.
Range: 0 - 65535.
2 source {single-interface | range
{interface-list | interface-range |
mixed-interface-list}} [vlan vlan-id

| mixed-vlan-list}] destination
remote-vlan vlan-id direction {rx |
tx | both}
MONITOR SESSION Configure the dedicated L2 VLAN
to be used to transport mirrored
traffic in remote port mirroring
Configure the source ports and
(optional) source VLANs with the
reserved VLAN used to transport
mirrored traffic, and the ingress/
egress traffic to be mirrored.
single-interface specifies one of
the following port types:
10-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter
tengigabitethernet slot/port.
Port channel: Enter port-channel
{1-511}

MONITOR SESSION
range interface-list specifies
multiple source ports separated by
a space, comma and space: single-
interface , single-interface , ...
range interface-range specifies
one of the following port
ranges: tengigabitethernet slot/
first_port - last_port
port-channel first_number -
last_number A space is required
before and after the dash (-range
mixed-interface-list specifies single
ports and port ranges in any
order: single-interface, interface-
range, single-interface vlan vlan-
id selects traffic only from a
582 Port Monitoring
