Howdy, Does anyone know of any good IP monitoring tools that can log/monitor the TYPES of IP traffic going across your netowork (ie: one that logs tcp/udp and esp port numbers/types of traffic)? Something that could query a router
The "etherman" tool suite out of Curtin University in Austalia is a free start.
would be nice, although I am unaware of any routers that support such a feature.
I just recently snagged MRTG, a freeware SMNP package that will poll a router allowing snmp access. It seems like a simple traffic monitoring/averaging/history program that is too simple to use, but provides easy to understand information in a visual context. Cisco's are really easy to configure for snmp polling by MRTG. I'm sorry I can't post the ftp sites. Can't think of them off the top of my head and too late to search. Apologies. Maybe someone else knows firsthand? Regards, -- Martin Hannigan (hannigan@firefly.net) Voice: 617.528.1099 Firefly Network, Inc. - Network Operations Network Engineer www.firefly.net Semper Cabalis
