Analyzing traffic patterns using Traffic Analyzer

Traffic Analyzer uses data to analyze traffic patterns. You can use up to four ports, an IP address, and/or an interface filter. You can also specify Traffic Analyzer to start immediately or at a specified time, and to stop after a specified duration or limit.

You can use Traffic Analyzer to analyze the following:

• Interfaces
• Ports
• Address spaces
• IP addresses
• Next Hop Addresses
• Protocols
