Error from configuring Port Monitoring on switch - Destination port should not be a L2/L3 port

I'm currently working with Dell OS10 switches.

The problem is very simple:
I tried to configure port-mirroring, to clone the packet to another port which locates in same switch.

I attempted to execute commands below, however, I faced an error and got stuck.

OS10(config)# monitor session 1
OS10(conf-mon-local-1)# source interface ethernet 1/1/32 both
OS10(conf-mon-local-1)# destination interface ethernet 1/1/20:1
% Error: Destination port should not be a L2/L3 port
OS10(conf-mon-local-1)#

Seems like I need to configure destination port except L2/L3 port.
However, due to my lack of knowledge, I can't figure out which should I need to configure.
I desperately need help of the experts... 😥

Hello Mitsu_bachi.,

 

I think this may help Port monitoring :

@Dell -Charles R

The problem has solved after I followed the instruction above again!

I ignored the step by mistake before, which configures the destination port as "no shutdown / no switchport".

After I executed that two commands, the port-monitoring session has successfully worked!

This happens when the destination port is set as a switchport. 

configure terminal

interface ethernet 1/1/20:1

description "Destination Interface"

no switchport

exit
