I have a situation where a user or machine is using up the available bandwidth on a 256Kb frame realy wan connection. Does anyone know of a way that I can find out who this is remotely? I have access to the routers on both ends but I am far away from the end site experiencing the problems.
 
I'd use some of the following commands to detect this host:

show ip accounting
(priorly configured interface as:
interface serial 0
ip accounting output-packets
)

Another command I'd pretty much use is "show ip cache flow", priorly enabled of course:
interface serial 0
ip route-cache flow

Hope it helps !!!
 
Hey, that is some great info, thanks! Couple questions, will the router be impacted by enableing either of these commands? I mean will the there be an outage while netflow switching is enabled with the "ip route-cache flow" command? Is there much overhead to enabling the accounting on an interface?
