Cacti would poll it every 5 minutes, or every minute if you set it
up to do so, and can count up the values of active ports and graph
it over time (trend data)<br>
<br>
For logs on which ports were on at which time cacti wouldn't be the
right job, but SNMP polling could still tell you, you just may need
to look for a custom developed scripted solution. If not looking for
really pretty interface etc with basic scripting knowledge, google,
and a few hours to a day, should be able to get something working.<br>

All,<br class="">
<br class="">
I would like a tool that could tell me exactly how
many switch ports are in use across a given time
period.<br class="">
This is an enterprise environment so it’s not just the
case of taking a snapshot in time, devices turn on and
off so I’d want something that could monitor the port
counts for a week or so and spit out a report.<br

<br class="">
Also, as per usual, the cheaper (free?) the better!<br

<br class="">
Any ideas?<br class="">
