9-4 CHAPTER 9: SETTING UP THE SYSTEM FOR ROVING ANALYSIS

Once the analyzer port is set, it is disabled from receiving or transmitting any other data. Instead, it transmits the data it receives from the monitored port to the network analyzer. If you have enabled Spanning Tree on this port, it is automatically disabled as long as the port is configured for the network analyzer. Once configured, the analyzer port also broadcasts its MAC address so that the address can be learned on remote systems.

If the port configuration changes in the system (that is, if modules are removed or rearranged), the MAC address of the analyzer port remains fixed. If the module with the analyzer port is moved to another slot, then the NVRAM is cleared.

analyzer remove

2Press Return to select Ethernet as the port type.

3Enter the number of the Ethernet port to which the network analyzer is attached.

The port returns to its current Spanning Tree state and functions as it did before it was set as an analyzer port.
