Connect Monitoring Tools to Director

To connect a monitoring tool to Director, simply plug the appropriate cable into the desired 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Monitor port and plug the other end into the monitoring tool. The Link LED for the port should illuminate after a short delay to indicate that a link has been established. Repeat for all desired monitoring tool connections.

Note:__________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the CLI, the Monitor ports are designated using the letter "m" followed by a dot, and then the port number. For example, the Monitor port on the upper left is m.1 and the Monitor port on the lower right is m.10.

Configure a Matrix Switch connection in Director

In order to monitor a network link, Director must be configured to copy the traffic from a Network or Span port to a Monitor port. A simple connection is described in this section, operating Director as a Matrix Switch. For more complex switching and filtering, see Chapter 3.

To monitor Network Port 1 (in DNM 1) on Monitor Port 2:

1.Enter filter add in_ports=n1.1 action=redir redir_ports=m.2. The switch connection is pending.

2.Enter filter commit. The switch connection is activated.

3.Verify that traffic present on Network Port 1 is visible on Monitor Port 2.

Check the Installation

You have connected Director to the network, monitoring tools, and power. It should now be functioning correctly. Check the status of the following:

•Check that at least one power LED is illuminated.

•Check the link status LEDs located on the front panel to verify that the links are connected.

•Verify that traffic is flowing through in-line connections to attached network devices.

•Verify that traffic present on Network port 1 is visible on Monitor Port 2.
