Yes that is correct

Yes that is also correct

It is not a SPLAT configuration it is a kernel config. The parameter is "fwha_monitor_all_vlan"
As for adding this to the GUI, there isn't much call for it that I've seen.
How do other vendors handle it? I know PIX (<7) only monitored link state by default.
If monitoring all VLANs on a trunk port is on by default, how do you disable it with the other vendors?
Remember turning this on generates more traffic and in most cases will buy you very little.
