For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port on which to install
Top Talkers, followed by a slash (/).
Specifies the number of the port on which the Top Talker is to be installed, relative
to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports.
On 8G (Condor 2-based) platforms, port-based Top Talkers are supported only on
F_Ports. On 16G (Condor 3-based) platforms, port-based Top Talkers are
supported on both F_Ports and E_Ports.
Installs the Top Talker monitor on a specified F_Port or E_Port.
egress | ingress
Used with the --add option to specify the direction in which the traffic is monitored
as incoming or outgoing. This operand is required.
Displays the top talking flows on a specified port.
number of top talking flows
Specifies "n" top talking flows. Valid values are between 1 and 32. If a value
greater than 32 is entered, Top Talker displays counters for only 32 flows and a
warning message. This operand is optional; if omitted, the command displays the
top 8 flows.
wwn | pid
Specifies the output display as either WWN or PID format. This operand is
optional. If omitted, the command displays in WWN format.
Deletes an existing Top Talker monitor on a specified F_Port.
Installs the Top Talker monitor on all switches in the fabric. When a new switch
joins the fabric, this command must be run again on the switch. The TT
configuration information is not propagated automatically to the new switch. In a
mixed chassis configuration containing both 8G and 16G port blades, fabric mode
is blocked when FCR is enabled. Port-level Top Talkers will be allowed on 16G
blades but not on 8G blades when FCR is enabled. When you insert an 8G port
blade into a chassis with fabric mode and FCR enabled, the blade is faulted. Use
the fosConfig command to disable FCR or disable the fabric mode Top Talker.
Displays the Top Talking flows on the switch for a given domain ID.
dom dom_id
Specifies the domain ID for the flow display.
