Port Monitor Commands
monitor session
Use the monitor session command in Global Configuration mode to configure a probe port and a
monitored port for monitor session (port monitoring). Use the src-interface parameter to specify
the interface to monitor. Use rx to monitor only ingress packets, or use tx to monitor only egress
packets. If you do not specify an {rx | tx} option, the destination port monitors both ingress and
egress packets. Use the destination interface to specify the interface to receive the monitored
traffic. Use the mode parameter to enabled the administrative mode of the session. If enabled, the
probe port monitors all the traffic received and transmitted on the physical monitored port.
