I am using this software for switch management. For the past year, all I have got out of it is backing up the configs of all my switches. I knew that other cool stuff could be done with it and there is not much documentation out there.
Anyway somehow I am now getting somewhere with it. I have turned on sflow on some of my switches and now I am able to produce things like 'Top Talkers', 'Top Interface Bandwidth' etc but to be honest, I am not quite sure how I achieved this.
I would like to put a few questions out and hopefully get a better understanding.
Q1
Traffic Analyzer/Register - What does this do. I have ran it on 4 switches and it now says I don't have any licesnes to register anymore. What exactly does this do?
Q2
When looking at Traffic Flow/Top Conversations Reported Sample Value will show 5MB but if I change this to estimate Actual Value, it shows 5GB. I know 5GB is right because I transferred circa that mount. What is all that about?
Q3
After having no data to display at all for the past year, then setting up sflow on a few switches, why can I now all of a sudden see interface stats for switches I haven't setup flow on?
cheers
