Powerconnect 5548 adding promiscuous mode

Question

I have a set of Powerconnect 5548 switches that I need to turn promiscuous mode on for a XDR solution to monitor All traffic on the switch..   I have searched on how to enable it for a port but can see the question being asked but no solution.  Is there any instuctions on how to do this?

Thank you but only referances the command to do.   I did the command, and tryed Wireshark and do not see any extra traffic on the port.    I have one VLAN.
