How to Set Up Flow Monitoring on Riverbed SteelConnect r9s280

Riverbed SteelConnect r9s is a network performance management appliance that provides visibility into network traffic and performance. Flow monitoring is a feature of SteelConnect r9s that allows you to collect and analyze information about the traffic that flows through your network. This information can be used to troubleshoot network problems, identify performance bottlenecks, and plan for future capacity needs.

To set up flow monitoring on SteelConnect r9s, follow these steps:1. Enable flow monitoring. To enable flow monitoring, navigate to the Monitoring tab in the SteelConnect r9s web interface. In the Flow Monitoring section, click the Enable button.
2. Configure the flow monitoring settings. Once flow monitoring is enabled, you can configure the following settings:
* Flow collector: The IP address or hostname of the flow collector that will receive the flow data.
* Port: The port number on the flow collector that will receive the flow data.
* Interval: The interval at which flow data will be collected.
* Filter: A filter that can be used to exclude certain types of traffic from being collected.
3. Start flow monitoring. Once the flow monitoring settings have been configured, click the Start button to start collecting flow data.

Flow monitoring data can be viewed in the SteelConnect r9s web interface under the Monitoring tab. The flow monitoring data includes the following information:* Source IP address: The IP address of the device that sent the traffic.
* Destination IP address: The IP address of the device that received the traffic.
* Source port: The port number on the source device that sent the traffic.
* Destination port: The port number on the destination device that received the traffic.
* Protocol: The protocol that was used to send the traffic.
* Bytes: The number of bytes that were sent in the traffic flow.
* Packets: The number of packets that were sent in the traffic flow.

The flow monitoring data can be used to troubleshoot network problems, identify performance bottlenecks, and plan for future capacity needs. For example, if you are experiencing network performance problems, you can use the flow monitoring data to identify the source of the problem. You can also use the flow monitoring data to identify traffic patterns and trends. This information can be used to plan for future capacity needs.
