[AusNOG] Switch Port Utilisation Monitoring

[Maik Straube]

Not out of the box I am afraid. Default cacti without any plugins simply graphs you the interface utilisation if there is some, that’s all.

It won’t tell you how long a specific interface has been up or down.

Lets assume I have SNMP available.

Will Cacti be able to tell me over (for example) a week how many and which switch ports are used?

Hi All,

I would like a tool that could tell me exactly how many switch ports are in use across a given time period.
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.

Also, as per usual, the cheaper (free?) the better!

Any ideas?
