# Configuring Tool Ports

You can specify the destination(s) for packets matching the flow. The supported destinations are as follows:

* port-id(s): matching traffic redirected to one or more tool ports
* port-channel: matching traffic redirected to multiple tool ports with symmetric load balancing

#### Example

```
pbnoscli# configure terminal 
pbnoscli(config)# flow flow01
pbnoscli(config-flow-flow01)# network-ports Ethernet1/1,Ethernet2/1
pbnoscli(config-flow-flow01)# tool-      
  tool-ports            Configure network tool or analyzer ports
pbnoscli(config-flow-flow01)# tool-ports port-channel1,Ethernet8/1
pbnoscli(config-flow-flow01)#
```

You can verify the configuration by using the command(s) below:

```
pbnoscli# show flow flow01
