Port Monitoring Overview
The port monitoring feature allows you to unobtrusively monitor the
traffic being received and transmitted on a port on the switch by having
the traffic copied to another switch port. You can connect a network
analyzer to the port functioning as the monitoring port to monitor the
traffic without impacting network performance or speed.
Observe the following guidelines when configuring port monitoring:
❑ You can monitor only one port on a switch at a time.
❑ You can monitor only one port in a switch stack at a time.
❑ The port to be monitored and the monitoring port must be
located on the same switch.
