Network Monitoring Port Features
Lets you designate a port for monitoring traffic on one or more other ports or
on a VLAN configured on the switch. This is accomplished by copying all
traffic from the specified ports or VLAN to the designated monitoring port.
Note If Automatic Broadcast Control (ABC) is configured and more than one port
is being monitored, then broadcast packets may be duplicated on the monitor
port.
How To Configure for Monitoring: This procedure describes configuring
the switch for monitoring when monitoring is disabled. (If monitoring has
already been enabled, the screens will appear differently than shown in this
procedure.)
1. Select Network Monitoring Port from the Configuration screen.
2. In the Actions menu, press [E] (for Edit).
3. If monitoring is currently disabled (the default) then enable it by pressing
the Space bar (or [Y] ) to select Yes.
