Address Mapping Group
The Address Mapping group maps network layer addresses to MAC layer
addresses discovered by the Ethernet DCM. The network management application
can correlate these network layer addresses to names via DNS or another naming
utility. The Ethernet DCM creates entries in this table for all protocols that it
understands. If it cannot perform address mapping for the protocol, or if this
protocol is not a network layer protocol, then it does not interpret the addresses.
Network Layer Host Group
The Network Layer Host group records the amount of traffic sent to and from each
network layer address discovered by the Ethernet DCM. These entries enable the
collection of the network and application layer host tables indexed by network
addresses. Entries in the network layer host table are created on behalf of each
entry in this table. Additionally, if the Ethernet DCM implements the application
layer host table, entries in that table are created on behalf of this table.
Application Layer Host Group
The Application Layer Host group records the amount of traffic, by protocol, sent
from and to each network layer address discovered by the Ethernet DCM.
To implement this group, you must first implement the Network Layer Host
group. The Ethernet DCM adds all addresses seen as the source or destination
address in all packets with no MAC errors to the application layer host table, and
increments octet and packet counts for all packets with no MAC errors.
Network Layer Matrix Group
The Network Layer Matrix group provides a table of traffic matrix entries that
collect statistics for conversations between two network layer addresses. This
table is indexed first by the source address and then by the destination address to
make it convenient to collect all conversations from a particular address. The
Ethernet DCM adds all pairs of addresses seen in all packets with no MAC errors
to this table, and increments octet and packet counts for all packets with no MAC
errors.
