Cisco Catalyst 500 Smartport DIAGNOSTIC role

Jan 19, 2007 1 Replies

Hi,



Why on this Cisco switch the diagnostic smartport role is only for transmit traffic? Can I configure it to sniff transmit/received packets? Wich is the next switch on Catalyst family that supports full diagnostic smartport role?



Sorry, I'm confused with this role on catalyst 500.



Thanks in advance.



To be honest, I am confused about this box, period. I think Cisco droped the ball when they released these. I have found them vulnerable to crashing.
