Port Monitoring
The MXL 10/40GbE Switch supports multiple source-destination statements in a monitor session, but
there may only be one destination port in a monitoring session (Message 2).
The number of source ports FTOS allows within a port-pipe is equal to the number of physical ports in the
port-pipe (n). However, n number of ports may only have four different destination ports (Message 3).
In Figure 21-1, 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, Message 3 appears. However, you can configure another monitoring session
that uses one of previously used destination ports (Figure 21-2).
Figure 21-1. Number of Monitoring Ports
Note: There is no limit to the number of monitoring sessions per system, provided that there are only four
destination ports per port-pipe. If each monitoring session has a unique destination port, the maximum
number of session is four per port-pipe.
