Using Cisco Traffic Analyzer with Performance Manager
Performance Manager works in conjunction with Cisco Traffic Analyzer to monitor and manage the
traffic on your fabric. Using Cisco Traffic Analyzer with Performance Manager requires the following
components:
• A configured Fibre Channel Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination (SD) port to forward Fibre
Channel traffic.
• A Port Analyzer Adapter 2 (PAA-2) to convert the Fibre Channel traffic to Ethernet traffic.
• Cisco Traffic Analyzer software to analyze the traffic from the PAA-2.
