Traffic Flow Analyzer
OpenManage Network Manager’s Traffic Flow Analyzer listens on UDP ports for sFlow, or JFlow
datagrams. A flow is a unidirectional stream of packets between two network nodes. The following
key parameters appear in flows:
• Source IP address
• Destination IP address
• Source port number
• Destination port number
• Layer 3 protocol type
• ToS byte (Type of Service)
•Input logical interface
Using that data, Traffic Flow Analyzer can help you visualize network traffic, troubleshoot and
anticipate bottlenecks.
NOTE:
The default license supports tracking flow for five devices. If you want to monitor more devices, upgrade
your license. See Updating Your License on page 12 for more about that.
