Traffic Flow Portlet | Traffic Flow Analyzer

Before you can collect traffic data from a 

device, you must Register it as a traffic 

flow exporter. If a device is not registered, 

the Register command appears in the 

menu. If it is registered the Unregister 

command appears. When you 

successfully register an eligible device, a 

success message appears; otherwise, a 

failure message appears, and no 

registration occurs. 
The Show Traffic menu option opens a 

drop-in (full screen) Traffic Flow Portlet 

with a pick list of available information 

types.
This displays the Exporters Detail, Top 5 

Receivers, and Top 5 Senders related to 

the device selected before right-clicking. 

Select a type and click the Refresh 

double arrow to the right of the selector. 
The screen that then appears has the features of the Expanded Traffic Flow Portlet described 

below. See also How to: Use Traffic Flow Analyzer on page 345.

Traffic Flow Analyzer uses several types of portlets, one for each of the types of objects on which it 

reports. These are Applications, Autonomous Systems, Conversations, Endpoints, Exporters, 

Protocols, Receivers and Senders.
