Switched Port Analyzer Menu from the Configuration Menu

The Switched Port Analyzer screen is accessed from the Configuration menu. This screen and its submenus are presented in Chapter 9, “Monitoring Port Traffic”.

CrossLink

A CrossLink connection is used to improve interswitch bandwidth. A CrossLink is used to connect two switches from the SmartStack STS16-20RM family with two to eight links (on SmartStack STS16-20D the maximum is 4 ports). A CrossLink provides bandwidth of from 32 to 128 Mbps in half-duplex mode, or from 64 to 256 Mbps in full-duplex mode.

Note: On SmartStack STS16-20D only ports 17 to 20 allow CrossLinks to be configured.

Figure 26. Setting Up CrossLinks

The CrossLink feature affects other SmartStack STS16-20D/STS16-20R features in the following ways:

Half-duplex and full-duplex.A single CrossLink can include a combination of half-duplex and full-duplex connections—for example, a CrossLink containing three ports can have two full-duplex and one half-duplex connections. However, each pair of interconnected ports must both be either half-duplex or full-duplex.
