Configuration - Assigning a Monitoring Port

The Monitor Port tab (only found on switches) lets you select a “Monitoring Port” that you can use with a network analyzer to monitor other ports on the switch. For the HP J3298A and HP J3299A you can only choose the Monitoring port and the port to be monitored. For other switches you can choose to have all the ports for one VLAN monitored, or you can select individual ports to be monitored. See the online help for information on specific switches.
