Deployment Guide

To display the currently configured source and destination sessions for remote port mirroring on a switch, enter the show
monitor session command in EXEC Privilege mode.
Dell(conf)#do show monitor session
SessID Source Destination Dir Mode Source IP Dest IP

Configuring Remote Port Monitoring
Remote port monitoring requires a source session (monitored ports on different source switches), a reserved tagged VLAN
for transporting mirrored traffic (configured on source, intermediate, and destination switches), and a destination session
(destination ports connected to analyzers on destination switches).
To configure a remote-port monitoring session:
Table 73. Configuring Remote Port Monitoring Session
Step Command Description
1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
2
monitor session id type rpm Specify a unique session ID number and RPM as the session type,
and enter Monitoring-Session configuration mode.
3
source {interface | range} destination
interface direction {rx | tx | both}
Enter a source port or a range of source port interfaces to be
monitored. Enter the destination port interface. Specify ingress
(rx), egress (tx), or both ingress and egress traffic to be
monitored.
7
no disable Enter the no disable command to activate the RPM session.
Examples of Remote-Port Monitoring Configuration
Dell(conf)#interface vlan 10
Dell(conf-if-vl-10)#mode remote-port-mirroring
Dell(conf-if-vl-10)#tagged te 0/4
Dell(conf-if-vl-10)#exit
Dell(conf)#monitor session 1 type rpm
Dell(conf-mon-sess-1)#source te 0/5 destination remote-vlan 10 dir rx
Dell(conf-mon-sess-1)#no disable
Dell(conf-mon-sess-1)#exit
Dell(conf)#inte vlan 100
Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#tagged te 0/7
Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#exit
