can I start with a question from a network newbie.....
I want to use my linux box to look at the activity of a number of ports
on a network switch. (I hope that I have the terminology correct).
The problem is this:
I do not have enough ports on the switch to connect all the rj45 ports
available and make them all live. Every so often I take a look at the
activity on the switch lights and record it on paper and then "guess"
which ports have not had an activity on them for some time. I then pull
the cables and patch into a port that some one wants me to make active.
I sometimes get it wrong.
In larger schools and organizations I know there is a way of getting
port stistics available. Someone said that I can get this list from
using snmp? Is
this so? Is this yet another way to use this fantastic OS?
Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated - even "RTFM" as long as you
say which "M" ;-).
Thanks
John
