Port Monitoring
The S6000 supports multiple source-destination statements in a monitor session.
The maximum number of source ports that can be supported in a session is 128.
The maximum number of destination ports that can be supported is 4 per port pipe.
.
In the following examples, ports 0/13, 0/14, 0/15, and 0/16 all belong to the same port-pipe. They are
pointing to four different destinations (0/1, 0/2, 0/3, and 0/37). Now it is not possible for another source
port from the same port-pipe (for example, 0/17) to point to another new destination (for example, 0/4).
If you attempt to configure another destination (to create 5 MG port), this message displays:
% Error
will be thrown in case of RPM and ERPM features
.
Configuring Port Monitoring
To configure port monitoring, use the following commands.
1. Verify that the intended monitoring port has no configuration other than no shutdown, as shown in
the following example.
EXEC Privilege mode
show interface
2. Create a monitoring session using the command monitor session from CONFIGURATION mode, as
shown in the following example.
CONFIGURATION mode
monitor session
monitor session type rpm/erpm
type is an optional keyword, required only for rpm and erpm
3. Specify the source and destination port and direction of traffic, as shown in the following example.
MONITOR SESSION mode
source
Example of Viewing Port Monitoring Configuration
To display information on currently configured port-monitoring sessions, use the show monitor
session command from EXEC Privilege mode.
