Port Mirroring

The Avaya P130 provides port mirroring for additional network monitoring functionality. You can filter the traffic and mirror either outgoing traffic from the source port or both incoming and outgoing traffic. This allows you to monitor the network traffic you need.

SMON

The P130 supports Avaya’s ground-breaking SMON Switched Network Monitoring, which the IETF has now adopted as a standard (RFC2613). SMON provides an unprecedented top-down monitoring of switched network traffic at the following levels:

•Enterprise Monitoring

•Switch Monitoring

•VLAN Monitoring

•Port-level Monitoring

This top-down approach gives you rapid troubleshooting and performance trending to keep the network running optimally.

Note: Visability™ MultiService Network Manager Software is required to run SMON monitoring.
