Configuring Promiscuous Mode

You can enable or disable promiscuous mode on a specific Gigabit Ethernet interface. By enabling the promiscuous mode, the Gigabit Ethernet interface receives all the packets and the software then filters and discards the packets that are not destined for that Gigabit Ethernet interface.

To configure the promiscuous mode using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Expand Switches > Interfaces > Gigabit Ethernet.
  2. In the General tab, you can enable or disable the Promiscuous Mode option for a specific switch.
  3. Click Apply Changes.
