This section contains a reference for each of the menu selections in sFlowTrend-Pro.
-
→ Start playback
-
sFlowTrend-Pro has the ability to read saved sFlow data from a file, as well as live from an sFlow switch. allows you to select the file and start playback. The main purpose for this feature is to allow demonstrations of the capability of sFlow. The file used for playback should contain sFlow datagrams in PCAP format (eg captured by wireshark or tcpdump). When the file is played back, the sFlow samples will be consumed by sFlowTrend-Pro in real time, not at the time the file was saved.
If you are running sFlowTrend-Pro remote
client, sFlow data is sent to the remote server
that you are connected to.
sFlowTrend-Pro can playback data from one file at a time, so this menu selection is only available if a playback has already been started. Use to stop the current playback, before starting a playback from a different file.
