Port Monitor setup on a 8600 switch. Jan Hugo Prins 02-03-06

Hello,

I'm currently looking into setting up a port monitor on a Passport 8600
switch. I need to monitor all traffic to a server that is connected to
this switch through an other port on this same switch.

I use Optivity Switch Manager to configure the switch. Can anyone tell me
a quick way to configure this?

Greetings,
Jan Hugo Prins

Older modules did not support full duplex monitoring, other issues alslo
but can not remember.
Works correctly with rev E boards and above

Configuration for port monitoring (or mirroring) is under the diagnostic
configuration sections (From command line anyway). I do not use the
Optivity manager (Wish I were) so can not help with specifcs there.

Can setup multiple mirrors at same time (each from a single port being
monitored to a single monitor port only). Can not monitor several ports
to a single port for traffic (will need an application switch for that)

You can monitor multiple ports to a single port. You cannot monitor
the same port on multiple monitor ports.
