upgrades
Port mirroring
Traffic on a port can be mirrored to another port for analysis with a network analyzer or
RMON probe
Other management

ACLs
Drop or rate limit based on source and destination MAC or IP address, protocol, port,
VLAN, differentiated services code point (DSCP)/IP precedence, TCP/ User Datagram
Protocol (UDP) source and destination ports, 802.1p priority, Ethernet type, Internet Control
Message Protocol (ICMP) packets, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) packets,
