9. Select the Admin Mode True (enabled) or False (disabled) radio button.
Select the True option to enable Admin mode for the selected session. When a particular

(RSPAN) VLAN. By default, Admin mode is disabled (False).
10. From the Destination Port list, select the destination interface to which port traffic is to be
copied.
You can configure only one destination port on the system. It acts as a probe port and
receives all the traffic from configured mirrored ports. If the value is not configured, it is
shown as None. The default value is None.
