Ignoring Interfaces:
1. Ignoring them from the Web UI will only Ignore a single interface at a time
2. Editing the IgnoreList.cfg (Config Tool -> IgnoreList.cfg)
This allows you to Put in Single Interfaces, Ranges of Interfaces or combination of Single and Ranges
Here is the Snippit from the Config File Header:
;This is the Interface Ignore Configuration file
;-----------------------------------------------
;Use this file to enter your interfaces in TAB-DELIMITED form.
;
;Comments can be added by using semicolons anywhere on the line (the
;remaining text will be remarked out).
;
;IPADDRESS FIELD
;All switches must have an IP address entered. IP addresses can be entered in
;standard format, or DNS names.
;
;INTERFACE NUMBER FIELD
;Each switch entry must have a unique interface number associated with it. The
;interface number can be referenced from the switch manufacturer's documentation.
;Multiple interfaces can be added by using commas, or a dash to indicate a range.
;
;Example:
;IPAddress Interface #
;----------- ---------------
;192.168.1.10 1
;calvin.companyname.com 156,159
;hobbes.companyname.com 12-20
;susie.companyname.com 23,25-30,45
;192.168.2.2 3
;
;Enter your interfaces below:
;
;IPAddress Interface #
;----------- ---------------
3. IgnoreType.cfg
Config Editor -> Ignore Type
Allows you to ignore interface that have a certain string of text in the interface description or alias
Snippet from that Header:
;This is the Ignored Interface Type Configuration File
;-----------------------------------------------------
;Use this file to enter the descriptions of interfaces to always ignore.
;
;Comments can be added by using semicolons anywhere on the line (the
;remaining text will be remarked out).
;
;INTERFACE DESCRIPTION FIELD
;This field is the complete description of interfaces that should be ignored
;
;Example:
;

;MS TCP Loopback interface
;Loopback

4. Interface Discovery Tool:
The Interface Discovery Tool was created to refine which interfaces are included or excluded from TotalView.
Located in the TotalView Home directory (Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\PathSolutions)
IntDiscoveryTool.exe
Command line options:
-a Run the wizard in automatic mode (Run using IntDiscoveryTool.ini)
-s Skip device scan (use existing configuration SwitchMonitor.cfg)
-r Restart service after scan
-? Displays command line help
It will create a new SwitchMonitor.cfg file (without the -s flag) and can create entries in the IgnoreList.cfg file for interfaces that can be excluded (Operationally Down/Administrative Down..etc.)
