Network Monitoring Port Features

From the web browser interface and switch console you can designate a port for monitoring traffic on one of the other switch ports. The monitoring is accomplished by copying all traffic from the specified monitored port to the designated monitoring port.

N o t e :

It is possible in networks with high traffic levels to copy more traffic to a

 

monitor port than the link can support. In this situation, some packets may

 

not be copied to the monitor port.
