Network management 65
Whenever port monitoring is enabled, a warning icon appears in the banner at the top of the page. If
port monitoring is configured and enabled within the Virtual Connect domain, Ethernet data from the
monitored ports is replicated on the network analyzer port, which poses a security risk and could result in
network loops if not connected properly.
The following table describes the fields within the Ethernet Settings (Port Monitoring) screen.
