Hello Renn,

Traffic In is the traffic which is coming in on a specific port.

Traffic Out is the traffic which is going out on an interface. If you for example upload a file to the internet, the traffic out value will increase.

Best regards, Felix

Are these values unreasonable, for example exceeding the maximal possible bandwidth of the interface? If you want to determine what's utilizing the bandwidth in that VLAN, you can setup a Packet Sniffer Sensor or a Flow Sensor which provides source- or destination address information and the protocol which is used. Follow this link for a detailed explanation.
