74.3 Port Monitoring Commands
Port monitoring allows the user to reflect traffic from each Ethernet LAN port to any other
single LAN or microprocessor port. Monitoring of traffic is useful when trying to analyze the
traffic or when debugging network problems. The Mediant 800 MSBR allows monitoring of
egress traffic, ingress traffic, or both directions.
