[cisco-voip] OT: Monitoring Lan Switch Ports ?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

and it also has threshold alerts you can set to email you.

as long as there is a SNMP mib for the parameter you want, you can monitor/graph/be-alerted-to it.

what i can't remember is the SNMP polling portion and whether it comes with MRTG or not or if you have to download that seperately.

  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.
