Remote port monitoring
Remote port monitoring monitors ingress and/or egress traffic on multiple source ports of multiple devices and forwards the monitored
traffic to multiple destination ports on different remote devices. Remote port monitoring helps network administrators monitor and analyze
traffic to troubleshoot network problems.
In a remote port monitoring session, monitored traffic is tagged with a VLAN ID and switched on a user-defined, non-routable L2 VLAN.
The VLAN is reserved to carry only monitored traffic, which is forwarded on all egress ports of the VLAN. You must configure each
intermediate switch that participates in transporting monitored traffic with the reserved L2 VLAN. Remote port monitoring supports
monitoring sessions where multiple source and destination ports distribute across multiple network devices.
