FileStart/stop playback
sFlowTrend-Pro has the ability to read saved sFlow data from a file, as well as live from an sFlow switch. Start/stop playback allows you to select the file and start playback, or stop a previously started 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.
FileExit
Terminates sFlowTrend-Pro. As well as closing the sFlowTrend-Pro window, this also stops collection of sFlow data. If any switches were configured through SNMP, sFlowTrend-Pro will attempt to disable the sending of sFlow to sFlowTrend-Pro from these switches before exiting.
ToolsConfigure switches
Brings up the Configure switches dialog, to allow switches to be added and removed from sFlowTrend-Pro, SNMP settings changed, etc. See Section 6.1, “Configuring switches in sFlowTrend-Pro”.
ToolsOptions
Brings up the Options dialog, to allow sFlowTrend-Pro options to be changed. See Section 6.2, “Options”.
