As far as i know this can only be down via SNMP.
If you need the community, let me know and i'll dig it out.

Hi,

i think i've lost the community name but:
just use cimon, its a unix util which can monitor almost any cisco device for memory and cpu usage.
You can find it on freshmeat.net.

MRTG will monitor the port usage and draw nice html graphs. It's free and widely used and I recommend it.

Looking at the CPU (show proc) will not tell you much about the traffic levels, just how much house-keeping the switch is doing.

Using the (show cont switch) on a 3550 will give some hex numbers. Look at "peak total bandwidth" as a fraction of "total bandwidth limit." How you do this with SNMP I do not know but I'd start with a MIB browse. Solarwinds.net has some good tools for browsing an SNMP tree.
