Ethernet Settings (Port Monitoring) screen
To access this screen, click Port Monitoring under Ethernet Settings in the left window, or on the Home
Page, click Port Monitoring in the Network section.
The port monitoring screen is accessible to all users with server and network administrator privileges. All

Port monitoring enables a set of server ports to have their network traffic duplicated to an unused uplink
port for purposes of monitoring and/or debugging network traffic on those server ports.
CAUTION: The network analyzer port should only be connected directly to a network
analyzer. Improper connection of this port or improper configuration of port monitoring could
result in network loops and cause a network outage.
