Switch and network operations

The switches have several built-in tools for monitoring, analyzing, and troubleshooting switch and network operation:

• Status

  Includes options for displaying general switch information, management address data, port status, port and trunk group statistics, MAC addresses detected on each port or VLAN, and STP, IGMP, and VLAN data.

• Counters

  Display details of traffic volume on individual ports

• Event Log

  Lists switch operating events. See the ProVision switch software troubleshooting guide for troubleshooting information.

• Configurable trap receivers

  Uses SNMP to enable management stations on your network to receive SNMP traps from the switch.

• Port monitoring (mirroring)

  Copy all traffic from the specified ports to a designated monitoring port .
