Traffic Analyzer Software - Overview
The Traffic Analyzer software is embedded in both the Cat6500 NAMs and the NM-NAM and accessible
using HTTP/S from a web browser.
The Traffic Analyzer software not only allows the user to configure the NAMs for monitoring, but also
monitoring traffic for various network usage situations and provides many reports on how the network is
being used.
Let’s look briefly at the different ways the Traffic Analyzer can be used for monitoring network traffic. These
features of the Traffic Analyzer software will be discussed in greater detail in Chapter 2 and 3 of this tutorial.
