Filtering by traffic direction
By default, the Interface Detail report displays information about inbound traffic to the
selected interface.
The router graphic to the right of the Traffic direction list illustrates the direction traffic is
moving in relation to the router.
In the graphic above, the arrow is pointing to the router, illustrating that traffic is moving
toward the router, and is therefore inbound.
To filter report data by traffic direction:
1 At the top of the report, select Traffic direction. A list of available traffic directions
appears.
2 Select a traffic direction.
Inbound. Select this option to show only data that is being sent to the interface.
Outbound. Select this option to show only data that is being sent from the interface.
Inbound and Outbound. Select this option to show both inbound and outbound
traffic for the interface.
Bounce. Select this option to see traffic that routed into and out of the same interface.
In some cases, this may represent a router misconfiguration.
3 After you select a traffic direction, the report refreshes showing only data from traffic
that matches your selection.
Filtering by keywords
You can use keyword filters to create complex Flow Monitor interface report views. This is
useful when you need to view data about the traffic generated by a specific computer, to a
specific domain, etc.
After you apply a filter to the Interface Details report, the dashboard report that coincides
with the filter reloads with a time graph for the filtered traffic component. For example, if you
apply a filter for the http application, the Top Applications dashboard report displays a time
graph of http application use for the time period selected at the top of the Interface Details
report.
