All right to continue this with a little more detail. I have 6509 w/ 2 sup 2's, and a blade for switching. On the switch blade I am taking port fa3/47 and doing a mon session 1 and pumping that out to fa3/48 which I would be using to hang an IDS off. My question is this, since I am monitoring on fa3/47 both Tx and Rx and pushing to to fa3/48, is fa3/48 only allowed to listen, and not speak? That is the question. Before I turn on mon sess 1 destination fa3/48 I can do pings etc, to test for connectivity and all is good. Once I start pumping out the traffic to fa3/48 the device can no longer ping etc. Is this standard OP that the port fa3/48 only becomes a listening port so to speak. Sorry about the redundancy here, just trying to make myself clear as MUD.

This is a switch feature, not a router feature. Priscilla At 12:40 PM 2/5/02, Tom Martin wrote: >Steven, > >STP is a layer 2 only function and in general it is configured only on >switches.
