If your port selection is not valid, you will receive one of the following
messages:
Error adding analyzer - monitoring already configured on
this port
Error adding analyzer - analyzer already configured on this
port
Once the analyzer port is set, it is disabled from receiving or transmitting
any other data. Instead, it transmits the data it receives from the monitored
port to the network analyzer. If you have enabled Spanning Tree on this
port, it is automatically disabled as long as the port is configured for the
network analyzer. Once configured, the analyzer port also broadcasts its
MAC address so the address can be learned on remote systems.
If the port configuration changes in the system (that is, modules are
removed or re-arranged), the MAC address of the analyzer port remains
fixed. If the switching module with the analyzer port is moved to another slot
then the NVRAM is cleared.
You may want to change the location of your analyzer port, removing the
current port you are using from the Roving Analysis configuration.
To remove analyzer ports:
1 From the top level of the Administration Console, enter:
analyzer remove
2 Enter the slot number to which the network analyzer is attached.
3 Enter the number of the Ethernet port to which the network analyzer is
attached.
The port returns to its current Spanning Tree state and functions as it did
prior to setting it as an analyzer port.
