9-2 CHAPTER 9: SETTING UP THE SYSTEM FOR ROVING ANALYSIS

the remote port is located. The remote system must be located on the same FDDI ring as the system to which the analyzer is attached.

Figure 9-1 shows the process for establishing local and remote monitoring of ports.

Configuration rules

You can have a maximum of 16 network analyzers connected to a system

 

(the maximum number of Ethernet ports on a system) and up to 8 ports

 

monitored per system. The network analyzer cannot be located on the same

 

segment as the port you want to monitor. In general, you will configure one

 

analyzer port and from there monitor one Ethernet port at a time .

 

 

 

 

Displaying the

You can display the roving analysis configuration to see which ports are

designated as analyzer ports and which ports are currently being monitored

Configuration

on a specific system.

 

When you display the roving analysis configurations for a system, you

 

receive:

A list of analyzer ports on the system (ports connected to a network analyzer), including the Ethernet port number and the Ethernet MAC address of the port

A list of ports being monitored on the system, including the Ethernet port number and the Ethernet MAC address of the port to which the analyzer is attached
