Host View VLAN 130

Now that Dean knows which hosts are playing Doom, he wants to determine what other network activities

they are involved in. He can do this by looking at all hosts in VLAN 130 and drilling down by host to see

application usage and conversations.

Step 1. Click Monitor > Hosts > Network Hosts. The Network Hosts report is displayed.

Step 3. Select VLAN 130 from the Data Source pull-down menu to display all hosts sending traffic on

VLAN 130.

Step 4. Choose a sort criteria. Dean clicks on the In Packets/s column.

Dean is presented with the users by packet rate on VLAN 130 on SPAN source port Gi1/2. Drilling down into

the details of the high-volume users is always a good place to start looking for the source of trouble on the

network. This is done by simply clicking on the desired host in the list, or by selecting the radio button to the

left of the host entry and clicking the Details button. See next page for resulting report.
