Hello

I try to use "monitor-session"
According to 
"https://docs.freertr.net/guides/reference/md/conn-eth19.tst/";, I think 
I have also to add monitor-direction stanza?

1) When monitor session is activate in the configuration, where can I 
read the result of this monitor-session? in "logging file" ? but I see 
nothing new

2) Strange behaviour
I put  monitor-session sdn7.11
then I put  monitor-direction both and then the ping that traversed this 
router failed down
If I put monitor-direction tx -- then the ping continue to work


DAV0001(cfg)#interface sdn7.11
DAV0001(cfg-subif)#monitor-session sdn7.11
DAV0001(cfg-subif)#monitor-direction both
DAV0001(cfg-subif)#show running-config this
interface sdn7.11
 description "DAV0001 SDN7.11 BRIDGE 1"
 monitor-session sdn7.11
 bridge-group 1
 no shutdown
 no log-link-change
 exit
!

Regards
Xavier
