to four lower switch units.

3.5 Making Sniffer

The Port Sniffer is a method for monitor traffic in switched networks. Any
switched port can be defined as a sniffer port which can monitor one or
more port traffic. Normally, it is connected to a LAN analyzer equipment.

When doing sniffer, configure :

Monitored Ports
Configure the ports you want to monitor. All monitored port traffic will be
copied to the sniffer port. Up to 8 monitored ports can be selected in the
switch.

Sniffer Port
Sniffer port can be used to see all monitored port traffic. Any port can be
configured as a sniffer port. Only one sniffer port can be configured.
