I've got a situation whereby a client allows its building's tenants to use
their LAN, and in some cases their mail server within the firewall.
They will also be able to set up their own servers in a DMZ for such things
as web/mail/sftp hosting.
What we need to be able to do is be able to obtain stats for usage, both in
and out, on any interface, and then present these in an easy-to-understand,
per client (i.e. ip range) format.
Now, using Netflow on the Cisco's, this should be possible. But there is also
one site which has an unmanaged HP switch (sigh!), which may prove more
"interesting"
I'm guessing that I'll need to monitor several/all ports, then find a decent
analysis package which will dump into csv, Excel (for Open Office) or
somesuch format, but an end-to-end would be nice :)
Has anybody come across any decent solutions? I've checked Sourceforge, but
most projects are either pre-alpha, dead, or contain no files....
TIA
