CHecking bandwidth usage

[RadioX]

I have a cisco 3640. Is there a way I can look at each of my connections (4 T1's) and see how much usage they are getting. If not what kind of software do I need or what are some good recomendations.

Thanks
Ron

The cheapest is just to do a show interface X and look at the counters.

Solarwinds has several tools in their package which uses SNMP to make pretty graphs and charts. The price is pretty good.

MRTG is "free" but it will require you be something of a hacker and you learn that PERL is your friend ;-)

I have seen the bandwidth monitor from solar winds. It looks to be a great tool. I heard you can download it for a 1 week trial. Jeter@LasVegas.com

Try MRTG. Its a free software.

I recommend MRTG also. It will take a little work to get it setup but if you just follow the doc you can have it up in about 10 minutes. Once your comfortable with monitoring bandwitdh, you can use it to monitor other things, like CPU usage, server disk space, etc.
