A Local Area Network (LAN) Switch includes conventional switching functions and integrated Remote Monitoring (RMON) Universal Feature Card (UFC). The UFC allows simultaneously statistically monitoring the traffic on all ports, 100% monitoring of the traffic on one port, and monitoring the internal LAN Switch switching fabric to obtain RMON statistics about the operation of networks attached to the LAN Switch.
