Configuring Cisco Traffic Analyzer for Fabric Manager Releases Prior to 2.1(2)
Accessing Cisco Traffic Analyzer from Fabric Manager Web Services
To access an instance of Cisco Traffic Analyzer running in your fabric from Fabric Manager Web
Services, follow these steps
Step 1 Choose Performance > Traffic Analyzer. You see a summary table of all SPAN destination ports and
configured Traffic Analyzers in your fabric. The source column shows the ports that are monitored by
the SPAN destination port.
Step 2 Click a Traffic Analyzer to launch that Traffic Analyzer within Fabric Manager Web Services.
If you did not configure the switch and switch port information in Cisco Traffic Analyzer, you can still
discover it, but Fabric Manager Web Services cannot associate that instance of Cisco Traffic Analyzer
with any fabric. Cisco Traffic Analyzer also cannot inherit the device alias information from Fabric
Manager Web Services.
Fabric Manager Web Services updates Cisco Traffic Analyzer with the latest device alias information
every five minutes.
