The following figure illustrates a typical example of trunk connections between three switch units. Each trunk is a 2-port trunk.

There are two trunks existing in this example. Each has 400Mbps band- width. The top switch is configured to have two trunks and is cascaded 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.
