IP Traffic analyzer monitoring and sFlow reports
Traffic analyzer monitoring includes reports that can be used to display sFlow traffic information.
The sFlow standard, as described in RFC 3176, is a method for capturing traffic data in switched or
routed networks. An sFlow agent samples traffic on the hardware. The sFlow datagrams are stored
and may be analyzed and organized into reports.
• Layer 2 reports: MAC addresses, VMs, and VLANs
• Layer 3 or Layer 4 traffic reports: All Layer 3 protocols, IP, IPv4, and IPv6
IPv4 and IPv6 reports provide the following additional reports:
- Top users of all Layer 4 protocols
- Top TCP Talkers
- Top ICMP Talkers
- Top UDP Talkers
- Top talkers for all services.
- Top talkers for all Layer 4 protocol services excluding TCP, UDP, and ICMP
• TCP reports: Invalid TCP flags and valid TCP flags
• Miscellaneous: BGP path reports
Device-level configuration requirements
To be able to collect sFlow network traffic data, make sure sFlow is supported and enabled on the
product or port you want to monitor. The number of sFlow destinations you can have depends on
the device and the software release it is running. Refer to the configuration guide for your device for
details on how to enable and configure sFlow monitoring on the device.
