Configuring a Port Monitoring Session
To configure a port monitoring session, use the port-monitoring source command by entering port -
monitoring, followed by the user-specified session ID number, source, the slot number of the port to be
monitored, a slash (/), and the port number of the port.
For example, to configure port monitoring session 6 on port 2/3 enter:
-> port-monitoring 6 source 2/3
In addition, you can also specify optional parameters shown in the table below. These parameters must be
entered after the slot and port number.
For example, to configure port monitoring session 6 on port 2/3 and administratively enable it, enter:
-> port-monitoring 6 source 2/3 enable
These keywords can be used when creating the port monitoring session or afterwards. See the sections
below for more information on using these keywords.
