296 Traffic Flow Portlet | Traffic Flow Analyzer
Exporter Registration
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 Applications, Top 5 Autonomous
Systems, Top 5 Conversations, Top 5
Endpoints, Top 5 Protocols, Top 5
Receivers,
and Top 5 S e nd e r s 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 295.
