How does it work? | Traffic Flow Analyzer
295
Set up Dell OpenManage Network Manager with the following:
Exporter Registration —To register a device, right-click in Resources portlet, after you select the
router and choose Traffic Analyzer > Register . The system should then be ready to accept
flow data from the device.
Router Configuration —You must configure the router to send flow reports to the Dell
OpenManage Network Manager server on port 9996 by default.
Resolving Autonomous System (AS) Numbers —Dell OpenManage Network Manager provides
local resolution of autonomous system numbers (ASN) based on static mapping of AS
number registrations. It also supports user overrides to the default mappings. To do this,
configure properties you can find in the
\owareapps\trafficanalyzer\lib\ta.properties
file. Remember, best practice
is to override properties as described in Overriding Properties on page 23.
