Hi All,
Does anyone have any input on my ideas below? I'd really like my LEAF
box to be able to supply logs/statistics so I can measure throughput per
IP address. I understand that I can run MRTG on a Windows or Linux box,
but am unsure if it will display stats based on IPs so I can check
traffic quantities per IP on my LAN. I still need a way for the logs on
the LEAF box to be archived and exported daily so there's a more
permanent record of this traffic.
Regards,
Hilton
