Chapter 2 Network configuration

208700-C

•

VLAN configuration settings for any ports configured for port-based
mirroring cannot be changed. Use the Port Mirroring Configuration screen to
disable port mirroring (or reconfigure the port mirroring ports), then change
the VLAN configuration settings.

•

For port-based monitoring of traffic, use one of the following modes for
monitoring broadcast, IP Multicast, or unknown DA frames:

— Monitor all traffic received by port X.

— Monitor all traffic transmitted by port X.

— Monitor all traffic received and transmitted by port X.

For more information about using the Port Mirroring feature, see Chapter 3.

See also appendixes for configuration flowcharts that can help you use this
feature.
