mrtg will give you want you want. you can even give it a switch model
and ip address and it will automatically generate a graph for each port
on the switch. we have used it here for ages and it fits the bill - it's
free.

	I know this is a bit off topic, but I am looking to hear from
others as to what they do if anything in regards to monitoring the LAN,
specifically bandwidth usage down to specific ports.  I was asked to get
an idea of what sort of bandwidth usage a department in the company
utilizes.  The reason is they are looking at moving this department to a
new off site building.  We wanted to get an idea of what sort of
bandwidth we may need to get for them. 

	 

	So the idea was to monitor the port usage of each individual on
the catalyst switch.  However I am just not finding a very good way to
do this with the few tools I have and with the switch being a Sup 2 with
set based commands which I am not as familiar with. 

	 

	I thought maybe SNMP could come in handy here with the right
application to monitor this but I am unsure what are some of the better
options out there.

	 

	Thanks in advance and looking forward to hearing suggestions.
