Network Security/Usage

[Eddiefdz]

Hello,

Can anyone recommend an app that will tell me the bandwidth being used on my network. Bandwidth originating from servers and workstations etc. Also what can you guys recommend as far a firewall protection? Any good linux firewall or device? Please let me know. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Most switches allow BW monitoring per port and most firewalls can tell you useage of the WAN link...what info are you trying to collect?

MRTG is a good free tool for that sort of thing.
