Chapter 8 Cisco Traffic Analyzer
Using Cisco Traffic Analyzer with Fabric Manager Web Services
Where database_directory is the directory where you want Cisco Traffic Analyzer to save its database
files (for example, /var/ntop).
Note If another application uses port 3000, you can change the port that Cisco Traffic Analyzer uses by
entering the following in Step 3:
ntop.exe /c -P tmp -w port_number where port_number is equal to the port that you want Cisco Traffic
Analyzer to use. Set the port number to 3001 if you want to use SSL. Fabric Manager Web Services can
only detect Cisco Traffic Analyzer if you use port 3000 (the default port).
Step 4 Verify that the Fibre Channel port on the PAA-2 is connected to the SD port on the switch (Figure 8-1).
Step 5 Verify that the Ethernet port on the PAA-2 is connected to the workstation running Cisco Traffic
Analyzer.
Step 6 Click Interfaces > SPAN... in Device Manager to configure SPAN on the required switch ports.
Step 7 Click Interfaces > SPAN... in Device Manager to verify that the Fibre Channel port connected to the
PAA-2 is configured as an SD port. The port mode of the destination interface must be SD.
Step 8 Click the Sessions tab in Device Manager to verify the correct destination and source of traffic (ingress).
Caution Cisco Traffic Analyzer must not be used with the PAA-2 in Management mode (MNM). Refer to the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Port Analyzer Adapter 2 Installation and Configuration Note.
Under Windows, you can use the \tmp directory provided with the distribution to store the Cisco Traffic
Analyzer database.
