monitored.

Exits the configuration mode.

Displays the port monitoring

Step 5 write startup-config
Optional step – saves this configuration
to be part of startup configuration.
The following command in Switch configuration mode is used to configure a session of mirroring for one
unique source port to one destination port. The source port has to be unique, because once the source
port is used in one session, it can not be used in another session, unless the port is removed first.
Destination port does not have this restriction.
The mirroring action is carried out only when both destination port and source port(s) are in place for the
same session. Hence, the execution to carry out a mirroring action generally is composed of these
commands.
The first command will establish the mirroring session with the destination port. The interface-id is the
port that user wanted to be mirrored to, with format of example like fx 0/1, cx 0/1, cx 0/23 …
The second command will establish the other half of the mirroring action, in which the session, if it is the
same as the session of the previous destination port command, will mirror traffic from the source port
<interface-id>, with direction of ingress (Rx), egress (Tx) or both. If direction is not given, then both is the
default direction.
In CLI, user can only add one source port at a time to any session.
In the same session, user’s new command for direction of same port, will overwrite the previous
configuration of the same source port.
