Once you have selected traffic for loading, Traffix Manager will pull back that data and process it. To display traffic in the Map, you must select the devices or groups for which you want to see traffic and then use the To/From and Between buttons to display conversations for those objects. You can display traffic for a single device, for multiple devices and for groups. The To/From and Between buttons are toggle buttons, so they will toggle the display of conversations on or off.

Figure 6-9 The To/From and Between Buttons

To/From Button

Use To/From to display conversations going to or from the selected object(s) to any other object on the network.

Figure 6-10 Using To/From to Display Traffic for a Device

For example, in Figure 6-10, if you select Device 1 in the Map and click To/From, you see all conversations going from or to Device 1 and other devices on the network. No traffic is going between Device 1 and Device 4.

Figure 6-11 Using To/From to Display Traffic for all Devices in a Group

In Figure 6-11, if you select Group A in the Map, all the devices in that group are selected. When you click To/From, you see all conversations going from or to the devices in Group A and other devices on the network.

Figure 6-12 Using To/From to Display Traffic for a Group

In Figure 6-12, the devices have been hidden and only the groups are shown in the Map. (The hiding of devices or groups in the Map is discussed in Filtering On Screen Display on page 6-16.) If you select Group A in the Map and click To/From, you see the conversations going from or to Group A and other groups on the network.

Between Button

Between will display conversations between selected objects only.

Figure 6-13 Using Between to Display Traffic Between Selected Devices

For example, in Figure 6-13, if you select Device 1 in Group A and Device 3 in Group B and then click Between, you see all conversations going between Devices 1 and 3 only. No traffic going to or from other devices on the network is displayed.

Figure 6-14 Using Between to Display Traffic Between Devices in a Group

In Figure 6-14, if you select Group A, this means that all the devices in that group are selected. When you click Between, you see only conversations going between devices in the selected group, i.e. between Devices 1 and 2. No traffic is shown outside Group A.

Figure 6-15 Using Between to Display Traffic Between Groups

In Figure 6-15 the devices have been hidden and only the groups are shown in the Map (refer to Filtering On Screen Display later in this Chapter). If you selected Group A only and clicked Between, no conversations would be displayed.

Only when two groups are selected, Groups A and B, and you click Between, would you see the traffic flowing between the two groups.

Combining To/From and Between buttons

The To/From and Between toggle buttons can be used to filter the traffic displayed on screen. With traffic displayed in the Map, you can selectively toggle on or off the display of traffic for any device or group, leaving the remaining traffic unaffected.

Figure 6-16 Unfiltered Traffic

For example, Figure 6-16 above shows traffic displayed for a number of devices in different groups.

Device 5 in Group C is broadcasting to all devices on the network. To filter out the traffic from this device, you would select it and then click To/From, as shown in Figure 6-17.

Figure 6-17 After Filtering Out Traffic from a Device

Clicking To/From when there is traffic already displayed for a device, will toggle off traffic going from or to this device. As you can see from Figure 6-17, the traffic flowing between other devices is unaffected.

If you then select Device 1 and Device 4, and click Between, you can filter out the traffic flowing between these two devices only.

Figure 6-18 Filtered Traffic

As you can see in Figure 6-18, traffic flowing between Devices 1 and 4 is toggled off. Traffic between the other devices remains unaffected.

Displaying Traffic for a Single Object

The following table describes the steps for displaying traffic for a single selected object.

In the case of single groups, this table only applies when devices have been hidden in the Map display. (The hiding of devices or groups in the Map is discussed in Filtering On Screen Display on page 6-16.)

Table 6-5 Displaying traffic for single objects

To	Do This	Result
Display or remove1 all conversations to and from the selected object	Select the object in the Map or Object List and click To/From.	All conversations where the destination or source address is the same as the network address of the selected object will be toggled on or off.
Remove all conversations in the Map	Click Reset.	All conversations in the Map will be removed.

1 To temporarily turn off the display of conversations in the Map, use the Show Conversations button described in Section ,

Displaying Traffic for Multiple Objects

The following table describes the steps for displaying traffic for multiple selected devices or for single or multiple groups of devices.

Table 6-6 Displaying traffic for multiple objects

To	Do This	Result
Display all conversations to and from the selected devices or groups	1 . Select the objects in the Map or Object List. 2 . Click To/From.	All conversations where the destination or source address is the same as the network addresses of the selected devices or devices within the selected group will be displayed.
Display all conversations between the selected devices or the devices within the selected group	1 . Select the devices or group in the Map or Object List. 2 . Click Between.	Only conversations going between the selected devices or between the devices within the selected group will be displayed.
Remove1 all conversations to and from the selected devices or group	1 . Select the devices or group in the Map or Object List. 2 . Click To/From.	All conversations where the destination or source address is the same as the network addresses of the selected devices or devices within the selected group will be removed.
Remove* all conversations between the selected devices or the devices within the selected group	1 . Select the devices or group in the Map or Object List. 2 . Click Between.	Only conversations going between the selected devices or between the devices within the selected group will be removed.
Remove* all conversations in the Map	Click Reset.	All conversations in the Map will be removed.

1 To temporarily hide conversations in the Map, use Show described in Show Devices, Groups and Conversations Buttons on page 6-17.
