Overview | With Traffix™ Manager, you can group devices in the Map according to | |
| your own criteria. You can view the use of your network by, for example, | |
| cost center, business unit, workgroup, | |
| geographical location. |
You can then filter the display of traffic data further by selecting which protocols to display. You can then view traffic connections using these specified protocols only.
When used with the reporting tools in Traffix Manager, you can monitor and document the use of the network by selected groups and distribute this information as and where needed. See Chapter 11, “Overview of Reporting” for further information.
Using the events functionality in Traffix Manager, you can monitor your network traffic and the security of your network. You can select protocols or devices to monitor in this way. See Chapter 9, “Using Event Rules” for more information.
