Optionally, choose Admin > Startup Preferences > Capture to set the interface that Cisco Traffic
Step 6
Analyzer uses after Cisco Traffic Analyzer opens.
Select the interfaces that are receiving PAA traffic that Cisco Traffic Analyzer will capture packets on.
Step 7
Verify that the Fibre Channel port on the PAA is connected to the SD port on the switch (see
Step 8
Verify that the Ethernet port on the PAA is connected to the workstation running Cisco Traffic Analyzer.
Step 9
Click Interfaces > SPAN... in Device Manager to configure SPAN on the required switch ports.
Step 10
Click the Sources tab in Device Manager to verify that the Fibre Channel port connected to the PAA is
Step 11
configured as an SD port. The port mode of the destination interface must be SD.
Click the Sessions tab in Device Manager to verify the correct destination and source of traffic (ingress).
Step 12
To modify the script that launches nTop (ntop.sh or ntop.bat), follow the instructions provided within the
Tip
script file. Create a backup of the original script before modifying the file.
—Linux platforms use the shell script path. The nTop output is sent to the syslog file (/var/log/messages
by default).
—Windows platforms use the batch file. The nTop output is sent to a file located in the same directory
as the one from which nTop is launched.
You can remove Cisco Traffic Analyzer as a service by entering the following command at the Windows
command prompt:
ntop.exe /r
OL-9077-01
Right-click nTop and choose properties. You see the Properties dialog box.
Set the Start Parameters to -P database_ directory, where database_directory is the directory where
you want Cisco Traffic Analyzer to store its database (for example, D:\ntop\tmp).
If launching Cisco Traffic Analyzer as a Windows service, you must specify the complete path
for the database directory using the -P option.
If another application uses port 3000, you can change the port that Cisco Traffic Analyzer uses
by entering the following in
ntop.exe /c -P tmp -w port_number, where port_number is equal to the port that you want Cisco
Traffic Analyzer to use. Set the port number to 3001 if you want to use SSL. Fabric Manager
Web Services can only detect Cisco Traffic Analyzer if you use port 3000 (the default port).
Click Start to start nTop on that interface.
Subsequent restarts of the nTop service do not require setting the -i option, unless you are
changing the interface that connects to the PAA.
