13.8 Monitor (Pass Through)(RXT-6000e Only)
Pass through monitor mode enables the test set to be used for long term in-service testing. This allows for bi-directional monitoring
of up to 10GE Ethernet line rate on the two 10GE SFP+ ports or the two 10/100/1000T RJ45 ports.
The Pass Through functionality allows:
In-line traffic monitoring in both directions
Long or short term network monitoring for troubleshooting network traffic problems
Isolate network problems to the customer network or the service provider/operator network
Monitor traffic between 10GE/1GE Fiber or 10/100/1000T links
