SAN Top Talker monitoring
NOTE
Top Talkers requires the Advance Performance Monitoring (APM) license on the device.
NOTE
Top Talkers requires Fabric OS version 6.2 or later.
NOTE
On the 8 Gbps 8-FC port, 10 GbE 24-CEE port Switch, Top Talkers is only supported on the 8 Gbps
FC Ports.
Advanced Performance Monitoring enables you to create Top Talker monitors on selected devices.
Use Top Talkers to display the connections which are using the most bandwidth on the selected
device or port. Top Talkers can be enabled on the device or one of the F_ports on the device. You
can only use Top Talkers to view real-time performance data. Data is only collected while the Top
Talkers dialog box is open; it is not persisted in the database.
You can have multiple Top Talker monitors configured at the same time. You can monitor up to 10
switches for Fabric mode Top Talkers and 32 ports and 10 switches for F_Port Top Talkers;
however, you can only monitor one device or port for each Top Talker you configure.
NOTE
If the Fabric OS device is configured for Fibre Channel routing (FCR), you can only configure a Top
Talker monitor on the following devices:
- 16 Gbps Backbone Chassis with a FC 16 Gbps 32-port or 48-port blade
- 16 Gbps 48-port switch

Configuring a fabric mode Top Talker monitor

A fabric mode Top Talker and an end-to-end monitor cannot be configured on the same fabric. You
must delete the end-to-end monitor before you configure the fabric mode Top Talker.
NOTE
A fabric mode Top Talker and an F_port mode Top Talker cannot be configured on the same fabric.
You must delete the F_port mode Top Talker before you configure the fabric mode Top Talker.
