Easy fix is to remove Macola right? Actually, problem may have been there all along and this just brought it to the surface - OR may be 100% cause of problem.
Check switch CPU and port stats first - make sure all is well, no errors, high load, etc. Make sure you're truly routing at L3 and there's not some sort of STP issue. All the typically stuff: speed/duplex, packet loss, retransmissions, etc. nTop is cool and you should implement it, but this problem could be solved or at least partially solved without it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rogelio Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 10:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Ntop] ntop for finding bottleneck between two VLANs? (10 servers <--> 100 workstations) I've got a problem, and I'm wondering if ntop is the right answer (or, at least, an answer) I've got a Dell 6224 layer 3 switch, and on one VLAN is about 10 servers, and another VLAN is about 100 workstations. All was going well until an ERP program called Macola got dropped in, and now things have got down the crapper (slow logging in NT domain, etc). Might an ntop box (or multiple ntop boxes, one on each VLAN do the trick?) be a solution? I've only used ntop *on* a BSD/Linux gateway, never off to the side or on different collision domains, and multiple boxes is the answer, then general type of config should I do? (I don't expect you to do my work for me, just give me a nudge in the right direction) Thanks in advance. Any help you might give would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop <font size="1"> <div style='border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
