Views: Network Layer, MAC Layer, or Segment
For either placement method, you can choose to view the integrated data
in several ways:
● Network layer view shows end-to-end traffic patterns, letting you see
past the effects of connecting equipment such as bridges and routers.
● MAC layer view, while based on end-to-end network-layer data,
preserves the MAC layer activity within and between segments. This
view reveals routers connecting the segments in the view, and accounts
for non-routed intersegment traffic by creating “pseudo-devices.”
● Segment view lets you focus on traffic patterns between segments;
traffic between nodes on the same segment is not displayed.
● Data Report shows the integrated data for the current view (Network
layer, MAC layer, or Segment) in tabular form.
Placement methods and views are discussed on the following pages.
