The following example session enables TAP mode on ports on ports 2A and 2B:

Configuring port traffic thresholds

You can configure upper and lower traffic thresholds for a port as a percentage of the overall available channel

capacity. If the amount of data on the channel reaches either of these thresholds, an SNMP traffic trap is sent to

SNMP clients configured to receive these type of traps. See [Configuring SNMP clients]. A clear trap will also be

sent when traffic returns to normal levels [how many % above/below thresholds].

By default, traffic thresholds are set to 75% and 50%. In most cases, these settings will provide adequate

forewarning of ports being overloaded or under utilized, conditions which may indicate network or port issues

requiring administrator attention.
