Table 34-1 lists the maximum number of monitoring sessions per system. For the S-Series, the total
number of sessions is derived by consuming a unique destination port in each session, in each port-pipe.
Port Monitoring on S-Series, and Z-Series
The S-Series support multiple source-destination statements in a monitor session, but there may only be
one destination port in a monitoring session (Message 1).
The number of source ports FTOS allows within a port-pipe is equal to the number of physical ports in the
port-pipe (n). However, n number of ports may only have four different destination ports (Message 2).

Note: On the S-Series, there is no limit to the number of monitoring sessions per system, provided that
there are only 4 destination ports per port-pipe. If each monitoring session has a unique destination port,
then the maximum number of session is 4 per port-pipe.
