Filtering Options
SMON tools provide different methods of filtering the information
displayed on the screen. These methods include:
•
•
Specific
Filtering
Specific filtering options provide the ability to specify the switches,
VLANs, ports, hosts, subnets, or protocols for which you want to view
SMON information.
TopN
Filtering
TopN filtering provides the ability to filter information based on the
amount of a particular type of traffic being monitored. When using TopN
filtering, specify the number of switches, VLANs, ports, hosts, subnets, or
protocols for which you want to view SMON information. Then select a
statistic which will be used as the basis for the filtering.
Using TopN filtering you can, for example, view information on only the
top 5 most active ports, or on the 8 switches generating the most error
traffic.
TopN filtering is powerful in that it allows you to focus on the information
that is important to you. For information on implementing TopN filtering,
refer to
“Using the Define TopN Filter Dialog Box” on page 86
