Ok, i gave up on the CNET switch, dont think its managed. But i got a 3com linkswitch 3000 as well. That on has a management module.
It took some time to find the manual, and Oh My God! It's from 1997! Kyle, web-interface?? Was Sir Berners-Lee born already!? For all of you who need a trip down memory lane: http://support.3com.com/infodeli/tools/hubs/suprstac/16080/manual.a01/ I need a serial cable, a BootP server, Windows Terminal, and much more ancient stuff. Can someone remember what a SLIP address is? Was that not the alternative for Dial-up with the more advanced PPP ? Was it Winsuck Trumpet that used it? The manual doesnt mention anything about a monitoring port, only about broadcasting SNMP packets, which i think is slightly different. Perhaps time to upgrade? rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Be a professional website builder: www.easysites.ug On Tuesday 11 August 2009 17:18:13 Kyle Spencer wrote: > Logging into the web-interface of the switch (assuming it is a managed > switch) and flipping through the options screens will quickly tell you > if it will allow you to monitor/duplicate a port. > > Reinier Battenberg wrote: > > just to show i do RTM: > > > > Apparently you can monitor a Switch Port.
