or VLANs
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.
