The 3750 platform does not support netflow. Awesome. So, I'm now thinking I my only option is to span my uplink port to my ASA and use software brand 'X' to analyze the captured data and put it into purdy little graphs for this customer. Customer would like to know who is using bandwidth and what they are doing with it. FYI, I'm already running MRTG Bundle on the switches so I have raw bandwidth utilization numbers, trends, etc. However, I need the ability to drill down more. I do have an upstream ASA5510 running 8.3.1 and an upstream 2821 router to terminate two ISPs, do the BGP stuff but I figure monitoring the ASA or the BGP router is worthless b\c of translation, etc. You done got any ideers?
