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

[Mendoza, Anthony R]

Speaking of MRTG I use cacti as it is a much easier interface to
use/configure and scales quite well.

Doesn't have the email alerting that I can remember, but maybe I never
needed to use it.

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.
