Thanks. That seems like it can be used. I did mention the mac address, because the switch has two ways of doing a re-prioritization either by fdb entries via mac addresses or by the high level inspection (HLI) based on the ether type. > >> * Packet logging (-> retrieval of packet time stamps) based on port, traffic class and direction > > What does this mean? tcpdump can give you this, for traffic destined > to the CPU.

The timestamps are stored in a FIFO and can be retrieved later. As you said tcpdump only works for packets at the CPU port. This feature is useful for debugging latency issues for specific traffic flows. Thanks, Kurt
