Selecting network interfaces for receiving mirrored traffic from SPAN ports

To select network interfaces for receiving mirrored traffic from SPAN ports:

1. In the Select action window, select Setup capture interfaces and press ENTER.

   By default, receipt of mirrored traffic from SPAN ports is disabled for all interfaces. The value skip is displayed to the right of the name of the network interface.

2. Select the network interface for which you want to receive mirrored traffic and press ENTER.

   Do not configure receipt of mirrored traffic from the management network interface of the server with the Central Node component.

   Receipt of mirrored traffic from SPAN ports on the selected interface is enabled. The value capture is displayed to the right of the name of the network interface.
