Open an Interface Report by Group

If the Interface Index page includes the Group tab, you can locate and select an interface by group. The Group tab presents all groups and subgroups in a navigable hierarchical tree. The tree makes it easier to locate a specific interface or other managed object, especially when your enterprise has large numbers of routers, interfaces, or other devices.

Note: The Group tab is shown on the Interfaces Index page only if CA Network Flow Analysis is registered with CA Performance Center as a data source.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Interfaces from the NFA console menu, if the Interface Index page is not already visible.

   The Interface Index page opens. This is the first page that you see when you log in.

2. Click the Group tab.

   The group tree is displayed in the left pane.

3. Expand the group tree by clicking the Expand/Collapse arrow icons next to group names.
4. Select the desired group.

   A list of interfaces opens in the right pane. The list includes all the interfaces that are in the selected group and its child groups.

5. (Optional) Use one of the following functions to locate an interface:
   • Sort by Column Heading: Click a column heading to re-sort the list according to the values in that column. The entire list is sorted, not just the items that are shown on the current page.
   • Filter by: Click one of the ‘Filter by’ options to display active, inactive, or all interfaces.
   • Interface Search: Use the Interface Search options to filter the list of interfaces. Search for whole or partial text strings to match values in the Router, Interface, or Description column.
   • Max per Page: Change the Max per Page setting to change the number of interfaces on each list page.
6. Click the interface that interests you.

   The Interface Overview report displays data for the selected interface.

7. (Optional) Change the format or type of data displayed: Click the gray Presentation bar on the left side of the interface report page to expand the Presentation menu, then select the report presentation type and data type.

The Interface tab displays a list of all the interfaces that are discovered in CA Network Flow Analysis. The list is sorted alphanumerically by router and displays 10 interfaces per page by default. To re-sort the table data, click a column heading.
