Introduction
Each dynamic entry includes:
• An Ethernet MAC address
• A single port number of the LAN on which the address resides
• The age of the entry
The SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX stores 8192 dynamic (learned)
entries in its Bridge Address Table.
1.5.3 SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX Port Mirroring
Port monitoring allows the SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX to
redirect network traffic (good packets only) from multiple ports to
the port selected for mirroring, in effect “mirroring” all network
traffic to this port. This feature allows users who have existing
investments in external analyzers, external RMON probes, or
devices like Network General's Distributed Sniffer System
TM
to
continue to receive expert analysis and packet decode functions in
a switched environment -- simply use the port mirroring function
to mirror switched traffic to the designated “diagnostic” port to
which the analyzer is attached.

Applications
Just as a six lane highway allows you to travel much faster than a
single lane highway, a network backbone creates high-speed
connections for your network. In general, a network backbone
allows you to distribute access to important network resources
such as file or print servers. Additional SmartSTACK 100
ELS100-16TX features, such as trunking, Fast Ethernet, and virtual
workgroups allow you to optimize bandwidth and design a more
efficient flow for your network traffic.
