All- It might be difficult to find, but I know that under the newer IOS's for the 7200 class, it IS possible to monitor a vlan's traffic. I'm successfully doing it currently on 4 routers.
However, it's apparent that it's not supported on Cisco switches themselves (unless Garry is lucky enough to have a router blade in the 6500?). I've also got soem Dell switches, can't do it there either (and BTW- I can't get bi-directional data out of my Dells, only 1 direction at a time...) So, there is hope on the horizon, but it's slow in coming. But monitoring BVI's isn't working right though :( ..erik On Wed, 3 Sep 2003, Cook, Garry wrote: > Thanks for the help Woody. > So it looks like I'll have to monitor the switch ports individually, > instead of the VLANs.
