In the configuration example shown in

Figure 1-50

, the designated monitor port

(port 23) can be set to monitor traffic in any of the following modes:

Monitor all traffic received by port X.

Monitor all traffic transmitted by port X.

Monitor all traffic received and transmitted by port X.

Monitor all traffic received by port X or transmitted by port Y.

Monitor all traffic received by port X (destined to port Y) and then transmitted
by port Y.

Monitor all traffic received/transmitted by port X and received/transmitted by
port Y (conversations between port X and port Y).

As shown in the Port Mirroring Configuration screen example (

Figure 1-51

),

port 23 is designated as the Monitor Port for ports 24 and 25 in switch S1.

The Monitoring Mode field [ - > Port X or Port Y - > ] indicates that all traffic
received by port X or all traffic transmitted by port Y is currently being monitored
by the StackProbe attached to Monitor Port 23.

The screen data displayed at the bottom of the screen shows the currently active
port mirroring configuration.

Note:

The Unit value (in the Unit/Port field) is not configurable when the

switch is operating standalone. For detailed information about the MultiLink
Trunk Configuration screen fields, see “MultiLink Trunk Configuration” on
page 3-37.
