the outlined box at the bottom of the screen. This report comprises elements
as defined in the following paragraphs.
Requested Report Size Establishes how many IP addresses will be reported as the “Top Talkers.”
NOTICE: While you may request any number, the unit is internally limited to a
maximum report size of 20.
Report # Displays a unique number used to identify the generated report. This number
is generated automatically, is incremented sequentially for each report, and
can be used by management stations for automatic polling (via the
ipadv2.mib).
Size Displays the actual number of IP addresses identified as Top Talkers in the
generated report. The maximum report size is 20.
Start Time Displays the time at which the Top Talkers report was initiated (based on
System Up Time).
System Up Time Displays the amount of time that the unit has been operational since it was
turned on or last reset.
The Top Talkers table reports in descending order the IP addresses that have
generated the most traffic during the requested report’s duration. For each IP
address listed, the report displays the number of Rx frames, Rx octets, Tx
frames, and Tx octets that have been passed across it. In addition, the
Timestamp field indicates the time at which a packet was examined for the
specified IP address.
IP Gateway Screen
The IP Gateway is a feature of the WANsuite 5260/5230 that allows routing
of IP packets from one network to another using static routes configuration
and/or dynamic routing. The IP Gateway uses Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) 1 or RIP 2 or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.
RIP 1 and RIP 2 are protocols that allow exchange of routing information
between two routers. With that information exchange, a router can build its
own routing tables that later can be used for “routing” IP packets.
OSPF is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is also an
internal gateway protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between
routers in a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path
as the best path.
While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more
suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides
equal cost multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent
via more than one interface simultaneously.
