Example of Viewing a Monitoring Session
In the example below, 0/25 and 0/26 belong to Port-pipe 1. This port-pipe has the same restriction of only four destination
ports, new or used.

Given these parameters, the following illustration shows the possible port monitoring configurations.
Figure 104. Port Monitoring Configurations
Dell EMC Networking OS Behavior: All monitored frames are tagged if the configured monitoring direction is egress (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
