Network Monitoring Port Features
From the web browser interface and switch console you can designate a
port for monitoring traffic on one or more other ports or on a VLAN configured
on the switch. The switch monitors the network activity by copying all traffic
from the specified ports or VLAN to the designated monitoring port.
Note It is possible, when monitoring multiple ports in networks with high traffic
levels, to copy more traffic to a monitor port than the link can support. In this
situation, some packets may not be copied to the monitor port.
