Configuring RPM Source Sessions to Avoid BPD Issues
When you configure an RPM source session, you can avoid BPDU issues by using the configuration:
1. Enable the MAC control-plane egress ACL.
mac control-plane egress-acl
2. Create an extended MAC access list and add a deny rule for (0x0180c2xxxxxx) packets using the following commands:
mac access-list extended mac2
seq 5 deny any 01:80:c2:00:00:00 00:00:00:ff:ff:ff count
3. Apply the extended MAC ACL on the RPM VLAN (VLAN 10 in the following example).
Dell#show running-config interface vlan 10
!
interface Vlan 10
no ip address
mode remote-port-mirroring
tagged Port-channel 2
mac access-group mac2 out
no shutdown
4. Create an RPM session (In the following example, port-channels 1 and 2 are LACP).
Dell(conf)#monitor session 1 type rpm
Dell(conf-mon-sess-1)#source port-channel 1 destination remote-vlan 10 dir rx
Dell(conf-mon-sess-1)#no disable
5. Verify the port-channel configuration.

Encapsulated Remote-Port Monitoring
Encapsulated Remote Port Monitoring (ERPM) copies traffic from source ports/port-channels or source VLANs and forwards the traffic
using routable GRE-encapsulated packets to the destination IP address specified in the session.
NOTE:
When configuring ERPM, follow these guidelines:
The Dell Networking OS supports ERPM source sessions only. Encapsulated packets terminate at the destination IP
address or at the analyzer.
You can configure up to four ERPM source sessions on the switch.
You can configure any port as a source port in an ERPM session.
