The output is sorted based on the data rate of each flow. If you do not specify the number of flows to
display, the command displays the top eight flows or the total number of flows, whichever is less.
For example, to display the top 5 flows on port 7 in WWN (default) format:
perfttmon --show 7 5
To display the top flows on slot 2, port 4 on the BHP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director, HP
StorageWorks DC SAN Backbone Director, or HP StorageWorks DC04 SAN Director Switch in PID
format:
perfttmon --show 2/4 pid
switch:admin> perfttmon --show 2/4 pid

Adding Top Talker monitors on all switches in the fabric (fabric mode)
When fabric mode is enabled, you can no longer install Top Talker monitors on an F_Port unless you first
delete fabric mode.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Remove any end-to-end monitors in the fabric, as described in ”Deleting end-to-end monitors” on
page 410. Fabric Mode Top Talker monitors and end-to-end monitors cannot both exist in the fabric.
3. Enter the perfTTmon
--add fabricmode command.
perfttmon --add fabricmode
The system responds:
Before enabling fabric mode, please remove all EE monitors in the fabric
continue? (yes, y, no, n):
4. Enter y to continue.
Top Talker monitors are added to E_Ports in the fabric and fabric mode is enabled. Any Top Talker
monitors that were already installed on F_Ports are automatically uninstalled.
If end-to-end monitors are present on the local switch, the command fails with the message:
Cannot install Fabric Mode Top Talker because EE monitor is already
present
