new or used.

A source port may only be monitored by one destination port (% Error: Exceeding max MG ports for this MD port
pipe.), but a destination port may monitor more than one source port.
Dell Networking OS Behavior: All monitored frames are tagged if the congured monitoring direction is transmit (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 tagged with the respective Layer 3 VLAN ID.
For example, in the conguration source tengig 1/1 destination tengig 1/41 direction tx, if the source port 1/1 is an untagged
memberof any VLAN, all monitored frames that the destination port 1/41 receives are tagged with the VLAN ID of the source port.
