Regenerate Trafc to Any Set of Monitor Ports
Director can be used like a Regeneration Tap, copying trafc from a Network port (or aggregated group of Network
ports) to multiple Monitor ports. The lteraddcommand is used to do this. The only difference from using the command
to connect a single or multiple Network ports to a single Monitor port is that a list of Monitor ports is specied.
