3750X switch with 10G service module, can the module be used to connect a server?

[dwells001]

HI ,

On the Cisco 3750x , assuming the 3KX-SM-10G service module is installed with two ethernet sfp's.

Could a Netflow collector server be connected straight to one of these ports ?

Does Netflow monitor only these ports?, would the incoming traffic to be monitored need to come through the module's ports as well?, or would it monitor traffic coming through any of the regular ports?

thanks.

thanks.

Believe so, but likely a "waste" of an uplink port.

Does Netflow monitor only these ports?

Believe yes.

Believe yes.
