Traffic viewer
The traffic viewer provides a real-time and historical display of network activity
when connected to a network switch.
The Traffic Viewer has two types of viewing options:
• Real-time view displays traffic packets as the traffic packets are sent through
the switch. The display refreshes every 10 seconds to display the most current
activity.
• Historical view provides a way to view network traffic logs by focusing on
specific time frames.
Real-time traffic viewer
The real-time traffic viewer displays traffic information and updates continually, to
provide the most recent updates and events occurring on the network.
To view real-time network activity, go to Tools > Network Analyzer > Real-time .
