Trap IP Address
Accepts the IP Address of a network device where alarm reporting traps are to be
sent.
Top Talkers
Selecting Top Talkers displays the Top Talkers screen (
Figure 3-67
), which is used
to set parameters for and initiate the generation of a list of IP Addresses ranked in
terms of the number of frames and octets they have transmitted during a specified
reporting period. This report allows MIS managers to determine who is generating
the most traffic on a WAN based on IP Addresses.
Figure 3-67. 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

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
