Figure 4.44 Top Talkers Screen
To generate a Top Talkers report, enter the duration parameters and desired
report size in the available fields as described below, and then press the
“Enter” key or select the “Start” prompt on the screen.
Duration Establishes the amount of time (in seconds) for which the Top Talkers report
will capture IP traffic; typically this value is 900 seconds (15 minutes).
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.
As soon as you initiate generation of a report by pressing the “Enter” key or
the “Start” prompt, the Duration value is copied over to the Time Remaining
field. As soon as the specified Duration for the report has elapsed, the

turned on or last reset.

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
