I've used MRTG as well for just this type of stuff. Works great. Well worth
the time spent configuring it. In addition, the data files are text files
and easily parsed if you want to do your own analysis with the data gathered
by MRTG.

I'm using MRTG/Netsaint/lots-o-perl right now to monitor 70+ devices
including switches, servers and routers. MRTG gives you good graphs for
bandwidth straight out of the box, and you can prolly write some quick
scripts to check the routing tables via snmp pretty quickly.
And of course, all powered by Linux. :)

It seems that I've recently been elected to examine bandwidth usage,
routing tables, etc... for 4 locations using CISCO 7200 routers to connect
between them amongst other things such as catalyst 5000 switches. It also
seems it would be a bonus to utilize Linux and Linux based tools to
accomplish this job.
I was wondering if anyone else has had any experience in trying to do
something of this nature successfully with Linux?
Any comments, suggestions, or recommendations would be appreciated.
Mike
