For Ethernet interfaces, the suffix "/monitor" indicates the use of a monitor path when it is
appended to the interface name. For example, "ENET1" specifies use of the endpoint path, and
"ENET1/ monitor" specifies use of the monitor path. The monitor path is used to read Ethernet
frames that are received or transmitted on each port. When Tap is enabled, data received via
the monitor path by a Tap pair will be identical on each port in the pair.
The IEEE 802.1AS protocol is implemented by the firmware running on the module, and
packet timestamps are taken near the device's physical layer. This helps guarantee a high
degree of synchronization accuracy for each port's network time.
Note
The PXIe-8522 and PXIe-8523 modules only support jumbo frames at
section for more information.
