port is attached to only one system, or may display “multiple addresses” if the port is
attached to multiple system via a downstream hub.
Top Talkers – Switched
To view Top Talkers statistics in switched mode, you must first set your Probe (local or
remote) to switched mode and then complete the switched setup for your particular switch.
See “Configuration” on page 309.
Switched Top Talkers mode displays all standard (non-switched) Top Talkers statistics by
port. Each port may display a particular MAC address (and IP address) if the port is
attached to only one system, or may display “multiple addresses” if the port is attached to
multiple systems via a downstream hub.
The MAC display of Top Talkers shows all other statistics identically as in the standard
(non-switched) MAC Top Talkers display, only they are by port as opposed to by address.
The IP display of Top Talkers shows all statistics identically as in the standard (non-
switched) IP Top Talkers display, only they are the IP addresses that are found within your
switch.
See “Packet Size Distribution Statistics Mode” on page 122.
Utilization History Mode – Switched
In switched mode, Utilization History displays the same information that the non-switched
mode displays, only the display is both by port. The ports displayed will reflect the ports
that have been checked in the Switch Dashboard. The top display is the aggregate switch
throughput.
As with switched Bandwidth Utilization, the top graph (the first dial in dial mode or
“switch” line in detail mode) shows the aggregate Utilization History information for the
entire switch (all ports that are checked in the Switch Dashboard). All other graphs (dials
or lines) are for the specific ports of the switch being monitored.
See “Utilization History Mode” on page 132.
Triggers and Alarms – Switched
In switched mode, Triggers and Alarms function identically to the non-switched Triggers
and Alarms, with the exception that only the triggers will function on switch port data.
See “Triggers and Alarms Mode” on page 148.
