1. A switch module system, comprising:
- a first switch module configured to be coupled to a first server chassis;
a first data port disposed on the first switch module; and
a set of first port data links configured to be coupled to additional sets of data port data links, each data link configurable to channel at least one of a normal data stream and a monitored data stream.

Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring high-speed network traffic via sequentially multiplexed data streams. Exemplary embodiments include a switch module system, including a first switch module configured to be coupled to a first, server chassis, a first data port disposed on the first switch module and a set of first port data links configured to be coupled to a set of data port data links, each data link configurable to channel at least one of a normal data stream and a monitored data stream.

14. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method, comprising:
-
configuring a multi-chassis system configured to support a server and a switch module to run data streams for the server and over the switch module; detecting a data failure on at least one data link coupled to the switch module; configuring a second and third data link coupled to the switch module, to receive monitored data streams; and configuring at least one of the first data link and a fourth data link data link to support unaffected data streams. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A switch module data monitoring method, comprising:
-
configuring a multi-chassis system to run data streams over a switch module interconnecting the multi-chassis system; detecting a data failure on at least one data link coupled to the switch module; configuring a second and third data link coupled to the switch module, to receive monitored data streams; configuring at least one of the first data link and a fourth data link data link to support unaffected data streams; and routing the monitored data streams to a logic analyzer.
