• If a traffic monitoring session was configured on a dynamic vNIC under a release earlier than Cisco
UCS Manager Release 2.0, you must reconfigure the traffic monitoring session after upgrading.
Traffic monitoring can impose a significant load on your system resources. To minimize the load, select
sources that carryas little unwanted traffic as possible and disable traffic monitoring when it is not needed.
