Re: [cisco-voip] OT: Monitoring Lan Switch Ports ?<BR><BR><BR><BR>mrtg will
give you want you want. you can even give it a switch<BR>model and ip address
and it will automatically generate a graph for each<BR>port on the switch. we
have used it here for ages and it fits the bill -<BR>it's
free.<BR><BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- <BR><BR>From: TechGuy <<A

OT: Monitoring Lan Switch Ports ?<BR><BR><BR><BR>I know this is a bit off
topic, but I am looking to hear<BR>from others as to what they do if anything
in regards to monitoring the<BR>LAN, specifically bandwidth usage down to
specific ports. I was asked<BR>to get an idea of what sort of bandwidth
usage a department in the<BR>company utilizes. The reason is they are
looking at moving this<BR>department to a new off site building. We
wanted to get an idea of what<BR>sort of bandwidth we may need to get for
them. <BR><BR><BR><BR>So the idea was to monitor the port usage of
each<BR>individual on the catalyst switch. However I am just not finding
a very<BR>good way to do this with the few tools I have and with the switch
being<BR>a Sup 2 with set based commands which I am not as familiar with.
<BR><BR><BR><BR>I thought maybe SNMP could come in handy here with
the<BR>right application to monitor this but I am unsure what are some of
the<BR>better options out there.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Thanks in advance and looking
forward to
hearing<BR>suggestions.<BR><BR><BR>________________________________<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>cisco-voip
