Monitoring Traffic Conversations

[darenn]

Hi,

I wonder if someone may be able to advise me.

We want to look at the IP traffic conversations on a trunk link between two switches.

How can this be achieved ? Do we have monitor the trunk with a port analyzer as its Layer 2 only, or can we use some form of ACL's on the switches themselves.Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

What you need is the Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) feature. The following link has a good document on it:
