Size
Displays the actual number of IP Addresses identified as Top Talkers in the
generated report. The maximum report size is 20.
Start Time
Displays the time at which the Top Talkers report was initiated (based on System
Up Time).
System Up Time
Displays the amount of time that the unit has been operational since it was turned
on or last reset.
The Top Talkers table reports in descending order the IP Addresses that have
generated the most traffic during the requested report's duration. For each IP
Address listed, the report displays the number of Rx frames, Rx octets, Tx frames,
and Tx octets that have been passed across it. In addition, the Timestamp field
indicates the time at which a packet was examined for the specified IP Address.
IP Gateway
The IP Gateway is a feature that allows routing of IP packets from one network to
another using static routes configuration and/or dynamic routing . The IP
Gateway uses Routing Information Protocol (RIP) 1 or RIP 2 or Open Shortest
Path First (OSPF) routing.
RIP 1 and RIP 2 are protocols that allow exchange of routing information between
two routers. With that information exchange, a router can build its own routing
tables that later can be used for routing IP packets.
OSPF is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is also an internal
gateway protocol (IGP) that distributes routing information between routers in a
single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path as the best
path.
While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more suitable for
complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides equal cost
multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent via more than
one interface simultaneously.
