No, normally (non-command) initiated ID's are always local. The problem you are (most likely) seeing is that the command (the *80) in this case is getting re-distributed to all connected nodes in the normal manner, even though the link(s) is(are) connected in monitor-only mode. Darn you for finding a design flaw!! :-) I will attempt to verify that locally-initiated commands on a monitor-connected link get distributed. If they do, they wont for long.. :-) JIM From: adamson_alan@hotmail.com To: App_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 13:06:25 -0400 Subject: [App_rpt-users] Quick question on usability Quick question on usability I don't want to be a bad operator at the moment… As I go about checking bandwidth and jitter, etc on my setup… I'd like to connect to an active Hub, but just in eavesdrop mode. But I've noticed that if I connect with the *2 command, that if I inadvertently then do a *80, that the ID goes out on the link that was connected with the *2. Is this true anytime my node decides to ID?
