This might be a little off topic, but I run a fairly large network, and we sell dedicated servers to clients. All of the dedicated machines are connected to our network of Cisco 2924XL-M Catalyst switches. I would like to be able to collect bandwidth usage statistics for their ports that way I can easily bill them for overage, and I don't want to have to install anything on the machines themselves to remove the threat of tampering. Does anyone know of a package that does this? Or would it just be best to write some quick Perl hack to pull the bytecounter out of the Cisco's SNMP information? Thanks for any help anyone might be able to provide. -- Robert Gash System Administrator, FastURL Personal Email: gashalot [at] gashalot [dot] com
We run a perl program that captures snmp output from our switches every 5mon and stores the samples into a mysql database. gashalot@gashalot.com wrote:
