Protocol Summary Views

The Protocol Summary views can help you determine which protocols produce the most traffic over the interface during the selected time period. These views are an overview and provide a good starting point for troubleshooting issues.

Protocol Summary views are included on Interface pages for specific interfaces when the selected report type is Overview or Protocols, the protocol range is Top N Protocols, and the Presentation mode is Pie Chart.

You also can include Protocol Summary views in Custom Reports.

You can display Top N Protocols information on Interfaces pages in the following presentation modes:

• Pie charts of protocol summary data on Overview reports (inbound and outbound traffic) and Protocols report pages (inbound, outbound, and all traffic).
• Stacked trend charts of rate, volume, or utilization data on Overview and Protocols reports.
• Trend charts of rate, volume, or utilization data on Protocols reports.
• Summary tables of rate, volume, or utilization data on Protocols reports.
