Hello All,
I am planning to carry out some segementation of my flat network with a few vlans and maybe a router to break up the single broadcast domain we currently have.
Before I do, can anyone give me a insight into the following please.
Is there any way/software cisco or non-cisco that will show me how busy my network is at the moment. It consists of 2950 10/100 and 2960 1Gb switchs at the moment. I would like to see how many frames are 'flying' across the network during busy times of the day and then maybe re-test it after I have made a few changes, too see if the network is more efficent. I have had a few users randomly telling me the in-house software that we use is giving connectivity error but its fine about about 30 seconds or so. I just wanted to know if there is any recommeded software that will give me some information about how busy my LAN is.
Thanks
