Fix Recommendation

Enable the feature or configure the switch so that it is capable of capturing ingress and egress packets from any designated switch port for the purpose of monitoring a specific user session. The example configuration below will capture packets from interface Ethernet1/66 and replicate the packets to Ethernet1/68.

SW1(config)# monitor session 1
SW1(config-monitor)# source interface ethernet 1/66
SW1(config-monitor)# destination interface ethernet 1/68
SW1(config-monitor)# end

Check Contents

Verify that the switch is capable of capturing ingress and egress packets from any designated switch port for the purpose of remotely monitoring a specific user session. The example configuration below will capture packets from interface Ethernet1/66 and replicate the packets to interface Ethernet1/68.

monitor session 1
source interface Ethernet1/66 both
destination interface Ethernet1/68

If the switch is not capable of capturing ingress and egress packets from a designated switch port for the purpose of remotely monitoring a specific user session, this is a finding.
