I'm confused on what you mean by "the monitor port".  A passive fiber tap has two rx/tx input ports and two tx only output ports, one for each direction.  

The two outputs need to be connected to the rx ports on two separate NICs, you can't just connect them to a single nic, as you'd be connecting one of the tx ports from the tap to a tx port on the NIC.
