Setup Guide

In the following example, the host and server are exchanging traffic which passes through the uplink interface 1/1/1. Port 1/1/1 is the
monitored port and port 1/32/1 is the destination port, which is configured to only monitor traffic received on tengigabitethernet 1/1/1
(host-originated traffic).

Configuring Monitor Multicast Queue
To configure monitor QoS multicast queue ID, use the following commands.
1. Configure monitor QoS multicast queue ID.
CONFIGURATION mode
monitor multicast-queue queue-id
DellEMC(conf)#monitor multicast-queue 7
2. Verify information about monitor configurations.
EXEC mode
EXEC Privilege mode
show run monitor session
DellEMC#show run monitor session
!
monitor multicast-queue 7
DellEMC#
Flow-Based Monitoring
Flow-based monitoring conserves bandwidth by monitoring only the specified traffic instead of all traffic on the interface. It is available for
Layer 3 ingress and known unicast egress traffic. You can specify the traffic that needs to be monitored using standard or extended
access-lists. The flow-based monitoring mechanism copies packets that matches the ACL rules applied on the 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).
When a packet arrives at a port that is being monitored, the packet is validated against the configured ACL rules. If the packet matches an
ACL rule, the system examines the corresponding flow processor to perform the action specified for that port. If the mirroring action is set
in the flow processor entry, the destination port details, to which the mirrored information must be sent, are sent to the destination port.
