16.2.7 Configure a port to monitor network traffic
Port monitoring enables you to send a copy of every Ethernet frame coming in and going out of
a port to another port. By monitoring a port's network traffic, you can connect debugging equipment,
such as a network analyzer, to monitor those server ports. This capability is important in a server
blade environment where there is limited physical access to the network interfaces on the server
blades. You can configure one network analyzer port (the monitored-to uplink port) for up to 16
downlink server ports within a single enclosure.
To configure a port for monitoring, use the Logical Interconnects screen or REST APIs.
