Traffic Groups

Located at Configuration > Traffic Groups.

Traffic groups are subnet and IP range aliases.

• You can assign a name to a subnet or IP range.
• GigaFlow will collect data associated with this range.

To define a new traffic group:

• Click Configuration > Traffic Groups.
• Existing traffic groups are displayed in the main table.
• Scroll down to create a new traffic group.

Add Traffic Group

To add a new traffic group:

• Enter the name of the new traffic group.
• Enter a description of the new traffic group.
• Enter a start IP address for the traffic group, e.g. 172.1.1.0.
• Enter an end IP address for the traffic group, e.g. 172.1.1.255.
• Is the traffic natted? Yes or no.

Sometimes, it can be useful to define a traffic group by subnet and by infrastructure device. For example, a corporate network could have a subnet served by more than one router. To create a granular view of flow through each router, a separate traffic group could be created for each router, defined by the IP range of the subnet as well as the device name. You can type to filter the device list.

To add a device to a traffic group:

• Click to select a device to associate with the traffic group.
• Click the up arrow . to associate this device with the traffic group; the traffic group is now defined by the IP range and the selected device(s).
• Click Save.

Add Bulk Traffic Group

To bulk-add new traffic groups, i.e. more than one group at a time:

• Enter required traffic group information using the format:

name,description,startip,endip,natted(y/n),deviceIP

• Click Save.

Use a new line for each new traffic group.
