Example 2
Assume that a company is using a proprietary protocol named “Company X Proto-
col” that uses UPD port 921. By default this protocol would appear with the generic
name “UDP WKP 921” in the monitor tables. Making the following entry to the
MONITOR.INI file UDP section would give the protocol a name with more mean-
ing:
[UDP]
mapping=921,CXP,Company X Protocol
Example 3
X Windows could use non-WKP TCP ports in the range 6000 to 6063. However, by
default, Surveyor reports X Windows network traffic with a single entry in the Pro-
tocol Distribution table.
For example, if 100 X Windows packets detected on port 6000 and 200 were
detected on port 6029, the Protocol Distribution table would report that 300 hundred
XWIN packets were detected. If the network manager wanted the Protocol Distribu-
tion table to report the number of packet seen on each of the 64 X Window ports,
the MONITOR.INI would need the following 64 entries:
[TCP]
mapping=6000,XWIN6000,X Windows on port 6000
mapping=6001,XWIN6001,X Windows on port 6001
.. .
.. .
mapping=6063, XWIN6063,X Windows on port 6063
Example 4
Assume that a company installed an audio/video application on its network named
Video Audio Network Communicator. Assume that the application uses TCP port
2900. By default, packets on this port are attributed to the “TCP OTHERS” entry in
the Protocol Distribution table along with other TCP non-WKP packets. To count
and display the TCP port 2900 reported individually, the following entry needs to
be made to the MONITOR.INI file:
[TCP]
mapping=2900,VIDEO,Video Audio Network Communicator
