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.
N o t e 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.
