Monitor Connection
This section will focus on the
MONITOR PORT
connection of the typical 2X16SP-1000BT
Gigabit SPAN Matrix Switch hardware installation.
Step 1.
Connect a monitoring cable (i.e.,
COMMON A
or
COMMON B
)
to a
MONITOR PORT
socket and the other side of this monitoring cable to the monitoring tool NIC port. For this
example a cable is connected from
COMMON A
to the Analyzer monitoring tool NIC. This
supplies the monitored network data to the monitoring tool.
Step 2.
Connect another monitoring cable (i.e.,
COMMON A
or
COMMON B
)
to a
MONITOR
PORT
socket and the other side of this monitoring cable to the monitoring tool NIC port. For
this example a cable is connected from
COMMON B
to the Network IDS monitoring tool NIC.
This supplies the monitored network data to the monitoring tool.
