	You can designate a port for monitoring traffic of one or more other ports or
	of a single VLAN configured on the switch. The switch monitors the network
	activity by copying all traffic from the specified monitoring sources (ports or
	VLAN) to the designated monitoring port, to which a network analyzer can be
	attached.

N o t e	Port trunk groups cannot be used as a monitoring port.
	It is possible, when monitoring multiple ports in networks with high traffic
	levels, to copy more traffic to a monitor port than the link can support. In this
	case, some packets may not be copied to the monitor port.
