Port Packet Monitor
D-View helps you monitor and troubleshoot Switch Ports for traffic, utilization
and errors of a specific device. D-View pinpoints the port flow in real time and
identifies their impact on the network.
Ensure the devices support RFC1213 to monitor the port flow in devices.
To monitor the Port Packet flow:
1. Go to NetTools > Port Packet Monitor . The Port Monitor screen displays.
