Protocols,
Applications and
Favorites After grouping devices, you can filter the display of network traffic
further, to view traffic carried by selected protocols only.
For example, it may be corporate policy that a specific department should
not access the Internet during working hours. You can view web traffic
for the department to see if there is any activity at that time.
Traffix Manager provides two ways to define protocol filters so that you
can select and view network traffic at higher levels of abstraction. These
are applications and favorites.
An application is a folder containing one or more protocols. Applications
are used to make encapsulated protocols easier to select and therefore
enable you to monitor a particular type of traffic more easily.
Traffix Manager contains a number of applications, which should be
sufficient for most uses, although you can add your own if necessary.
A favorite is a folder that can contain both applications and protocols. For
example, you could set up a favorite called Business Critical that contains
applications such as
snmp, notes
and
nfs
, in order to view your most
critical network traffic.
Traffix Manager contains the following predefined favorites:
■
All applications
■
All protocols
■
Web applications
You can also add your own favorites as required. Favorites can contain
other favorites.
