9-4 CHAPTER 9: SETTING UP THE SYSTEM FOR ROVING ANALYSIS
Once the analyzer port is set, it is disabled from receiving or transmitting
any other data. Instead, it transmits the data it receives from the monitored
port to the network analyzer. If you have enabled Spanning Tree on this
port, it is automatically disabled as long as the port is configured for the
network analyzer. Once configured, the analyzer port also broadcasts its
MAC address so that the address can be learned on remote systems.
If the port configuration changes in the system (that is, if modules are
removed or rearranged), the MAC address of the analyzer port remains fixed.
If the module with the analyzer port is moved to another slot, then the
NVRAM is cleared.
Removing an
Analyzer Port
You can change the location of your analyzer port, removing the current
port you are using from the roving analysis configuration.
To remove analyzer ports:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
analyzer remove
2 Press Return to select Ethernet as the port type.
3 Enter the number of the Ethernet port to which the network analyzer is
attached.
The port returns to its current Spanning Tree state and functions as it did
before it was set as an analyzer port.
