Stations
The Stations list allows you limit the displayed RMON matrix data to that
associated with specific hosts on the network. If the Stations list is empty
data will be collected for all hosts seen by the device. If the Stations list
has at least one entry, data shown will be only for conversations involving
listed hosts.
Matrix Flow
Determines whether to display the retrieved matrix data sorted by
destination MAC address followed by source MAC address (Destination >
Source) or by source address followed by destination MAC address
(Source > Destination). This option is useful if you want to view data to a
specified host in the Stations list, or from a specified station.
