Constant and User Defined Protocols

Avaya M770 and M-MLS SMON User Guide
Protocol Directory
Using Protocol Directory, you can view and configure the protocols and
specific TCP/UDP ports that an AnyLayer SMON device is monitoring.
Based on the protocols and TCP/UDP ports selected in Protocol
Directory, you can use the Protocol Distribution tool to monitor network
traffic organized by protocol and TCP/UDP port number. For a detailed
overview of Protocol Directory, refer to "Protocol Directory" on page 13.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Protocols - An overview of constant and user defined protocols.
• TCP/UDP Port Numbers - An overview of how TCP/UDP port
numbers are used in Protocol Directory.
• Using Protocol Directory - Instructions on starting Protocol
Directory, understanding the window, and using the available
options.
The Protocol Directory tool is available for Avaya M-MLS.
Protocol Directory automatically includes a number of popular protocols
for the SMON II device to monitor; these are called Constant Protocols.
In addition, you can include other protocols for monitoring by specifying
corresponding TCP/UDP ports; these are called User Defined Protocols.
Constant Protocols are always listed by Protocol Directory among the
protocols for the AnyLayer SMON device to monitor (refer to the table
below). They include a number of network and transport protocols
(Layers 3 and 4 in the OSI seven-layer model), such as IP, IPX, and ARP,
as well as many popular application protocols (Layer 7), such as Telnet
and SMTP.
