Hi,
Im trying to build a traffic analyzer based on Mrtg here for my company, (10
big routers 80 switches 80 servers Cisco/Nortel).
There was an argument about creating this Mrtg-Server, some people claim it
would be suicidal, because many of the routers and switches operates with heavy
traffic and cpu load (about 75-85%) and querying these elements every 5 minutes
would collapse the network.
Can somebody give me some feedback on this, I personally dont believe that
querying through snmp every 5 minutes can cause such damage on the network,
even if they are on high capacity, i think maybe it could cause a small delay
on the query but nothing else, right?. I have allready worked in a smaller
enviourment and had no problems, but I need some technical arguments to
convince these guys,
any ideas?
regards. JB
