Configuring an F_Port mode Top Talker monitor
Procedures in this section pertain to configuring the legacy Top Talkers feature instead of using
Flow Vision.
For systems using Fabric OS version 7.2 or later, when you select a device or device port, and then
select Monitor > Performance > Top Talkers, a message displays that you can use Flow Vision to
provide Top Talkers monitoring. You have these options:
• To use Flow Vision, delete existing monitors, then use the Add Flow Definition dialog box to
define an initiator and target port pair for monitoring. Refer to
Chapter 30, “Flow Vision” for
more information.
• Clicking OK opens the legacy Top Talkers dialog box. To use the legacy Top Talkers feature, you
must deactivate existing flows defined for the switch for Flow Vision.
Here are some important notes for using this feature:
• An F_Port mode Top Talker and an end-to-end monitor cannot be configured on the same
F_Port. You must delete the end-to-end monitor before you configure the F_Port mode Top
Talker.
• A Top Talker monitor and an end-to-end monitor cannot be configured on the same fabric or
external F_Port application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). You must delete the end-to-end
monitor before you configure the Top Talker monitor.
