Port Monitoring Features
You can designate a port for monitoring incoming traffic of other ports and of
static trunks on the switch. The switch monitors the network activity by
copying all traffic inbound on the specified interfaces to the designated
monitoring port, to which a network analyzer can be attached.
Note Port trunks cannot be used as a monitoring port.
It is possible, when monitoring multiple interfaces 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.
